Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ أَخْبَرَنَا الْقَاسِمُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ الْحُدَّانِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ قَالَ عَدَا الذِّئْبُ عَلَى شَاةٍ فَأَخَذَهَا فَطَلَبَهُ الرَّاعِي فَانْتَزَعَهَا مِنْهُ فَأَقْعَى الذِّئْبُ عَلَى ذَنَبِهِ قَالَ أَلَا تَتَّقِي اللَّهَ تَنْزِعُ مِنِّي رِزْقًا سَاقَهُ اللَّهُ إِلَيَّ فَقَالَ يَا عَجَبِي ذِئْبٌ مُقْعٍ عَلَى ذَنَبِهِ يُكَلِّمُنِي كَلَامَ الْإِنْسِ فَقَالَ الذِّئْبُ أَلَا أُخْبِرُكَ بِأَعْجَبَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ مُحَمَّدٌ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِيَثْرِبَ يُخْبِرُ النَّاسَ بِأَنْبَاءِ مَا قَدْ سَبَقَ قَالَ فَأَقْبَلَ الرَّاعِي يَسُوقُ غَنَمَهُ حَتَّى دَخَلَ الْمَدِينَةَ فَزَوَاهَا إِلَى زَاوِيَةٍ مِنْ زَوَايَاهَا ثُمَّ أَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَخْبَرَهُ فَأَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَنُودِيَ الصَّلَاةُ جَامِعَةٌ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ فَقَالَ لِلرَّاعِي أَخْبِرْهُمْ فَأَخْبَرَهُمْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَدَقَ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَا تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ حَتَّى يُكَلِّمَ السِّبَاعُ الْإِنْسَ وَيُكَلِّمَ الرَّجُلَ عَذَبَةُ سَوْطِهِ وَشِرَاكُ نَعْلِهِ وَيُخْبِرَهُ فَخِذُهُ بِمَا أَحْدَثَ أَهْلُهُ بَعْدَهُ.
English Translation
Yazid told us, al-Qasim ibn al-Fadl al-Huddani informed us, from Abu Nadra, from Abu Sa'id al-Khudri, who said: "A wolf attacked a sheep and seized it. The shepherd pursued it and snatched it away from it. Then the wolf sat back on its haunches and said: 'Do you not fear Allah, taking from me a provision that Allah drove to me?' He said: 'How amazing - a wolf sitting back on its haunches speaking to me with human speech!' The wolf said: 'Shall I tell you of something more amazing than that? Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, is in Yathrib telling the people news of what has passed.'" He said: "So the shepherd came, driving his sheep, until he entered Madina, and he penned them into a corner of it. Then he went to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and informed him. So the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, ordered, and the call was made: 'The gathering prayer,' then he came out and said to the shepherd: 'Tell them.' So he told them, and the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: 'He has spoken the truth. By the One in whose hand is my soul, the Hour will not come until wild beasts speak to people, and the strap of a man's whip and the thong of his sandal speak to him, and his thigh informs him of what his family did after he left.'"
