A wolf spoke to a shepherd during the Prophet's lifetime near Al-Madinah- On The Day Of Resurrection Beasts of prey will speak

-

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said:

He (the shepherd) has spoken the truth. By Him (Allah) in Whose Hand my soul is, the Day of Resurrection will not be established till beasts of prey speak to the human beings.


Narrated Abu Hurairah [radhi-yAllahu 'anhu]: I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saying, "While a shepherd was amongst his sheep, a wolf attacked them and took away one sheep. When the shepherd chased the wolf, the wolf turned towards him and said, 'Who will be its guard on the day of wild animals when nobody except I will be its shepherd'*. And while a man was driving a cow with a load on it, it turned towards him and spoke to him saying, 'I have not been created for this purpose, but for ploughing.' "The people said, "Glorified is Allah." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "But I believe in it and so does Abu Bakr and 'Umar [radhi-yAllahu 'anhumaa]." 


[Sahih Al-Bukhari, 5/3663 (O.P.15)]


* It has been written that a wolf also spoke to a shepherd during the Prophet's lifetime near Al-Madinah, as narrated in Musnad Imam Ahmad in the Musnad of Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri [radhi-yAllahu 'anhu] (Vol. 3): Narrated Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri [radhi-yAllahu 'anhu]: (While a shepherd was in his herd of sheep), suddenly a wolf attacked a sheep and took it away, the shepherd chased the wolf and took back the sheep, the wolf sat on its tail and addressed the shepherd saying: "Be afraid of Allah, you have taken the provision from me which Allah gave me." The shepherd said: "What an amazing thing! A wolf sitting on its tail speaks to me in the language of a human being." The wolf said: "Shall I tell you something more amazing than this? There is Muhammad (ﷺ) the Messenger of Allah in Yathrib (Al-Madinah) informing the people about the news of the past." Then the shepherd (after hearing that) proceeded (towards Al-Madinah) driving his sheep till he entered Al-Madinah, cornered his sheep in a place, and came to Allah's Messenger (Muhammad ) and informed the whole story. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ordered for the proclamation of a congregational Salat, then he (ﷺ) came out and asked the shepherd to inform the people (about the story), and he informed them. Then Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: "He (the shepherd) has spoken the truth. By Him (Allah) in Whose Hand my soul is, the Day of Resurrection will not be established till beasts of prey speak to the human beings, and the stick lash and the shoelaces of a person speak to him and his thigh informs him about his family as to what happened to them after him.


وَمَا مِن دَآبَّةٍ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ إِلَّا عَلَى ٱللَّهِ رِزْقُهَا وَيَعْلَمُ مُسْتَقَرَّهَا وَمُسْتَوْدَعَهَاۚ كُلٌّ فِى كِتَٰبٍ مُّبِينٍ 

Hud 11:6

And there is no creature on earth but that upon Allah is its provision, and He knows its place of dwelling and place of storage. All is in a clear register

What happens to the souls in barzakh?

Question: Asfa Umer We are aware that the martyrs are not in the grave, but rather, they are still present among us and still at risk. However, I am curious as to what will happen to people like us who are not martyrs and who pass away naturally.What happens to our soul and where does it go? Does it go to an area known as barzakh, and if so, could you please elaborate on this? Or does it go to an eternal state of dormancy? Answer: In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh. The existence after this one is far superior to the life here on earth. The joys, sorrows, and experiences of this existence pale in comparison to the afterlife. The moment the spirit leaves the body is when the phenomenon starts. There are two categories at this point in time: the fortunate and the destitute. I The fortunate are treated as monarchs. They are welcomed by hundreds of angels, who surround them in fragrance and radiance. In a pr...
