    Ibn `Umar said: When we were on a journey with the Prophet a nomadic Arab approached, and when he came near God’s messenger said to him, “Do you testify that there is no god but God alone who has no partner and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger?” He asked, “Who will testify to what you say?” Replying, “This mimosa tree,” he called it. It was at the side of the wadi , and it came forward furrowing the ground till it stood in front of him. He asked it to testify three times, and when it had testified three time that it was as he had said, it returned to its said. Darimi transmitted it.

    Jabir told that a man came to God’s messenger asking him for food and he gave him half a camel-load of barley. The man, his wife and their guest kept on eating of it till he measured it, and then it came to an end. He went to the Prophet who said to him, “If you had not measured it you would have eaten of it and it would have remained for you.” Muslim transmitted it.

    Ibn ‘Abbas told that a nomadic Arab came to God’s messenger and asked, “By what means can I know that you are a prophet?” He replied, “If I call this raceme from this palm-tree it will testify that I am God’s messenger.” He called it and it began to come down from the palm-tree and fell beside the Prophet. He then told it to go back, and when it returned the nomadic Arab accepted Islam. Tirmidhi transmitted it, saying it is sahih.

    `Asim b. Kulaib quoted his father’s authority for the following statement by one of the Ansar: We went out with God’s messenger to a funeral, and I saw him at the grave giving this instruction to the grave-digger, “Make it wide where the feet go and wide where the head goes.” When he came back, he was met by one who conveyed an invitation from the widow, and he accepted it and we went along with him. Food was brought, and when he put in his hand the people did the same, and they ate. We noticed that God’s messenger was moving a morsel round in his mouth. He then said, “I find the flesh of a sheep which has been taken without its owners’ permission.” The woman sent a message to say, “Messenger of God, I sent to an-Naqi (a place where sheep were sold) to have a sheep bought for me, but there were none, so I sent to a neighbour of mine who had bought a sheep asking him to send it to me for the price he had paid, but he could not be found. I therefore sent to his wife and she sent it to me.” God’s messenger then said, “Give this food to the prisoners.” Abu Dawud and Baihaqi, in Dala’il an-nubuwa , transmitted it.

    وَعَن أبي هريرةَ قَالَ جَاءَ ذِئْبٌ إِلَى رَاعِي غَنَمٍ فَأَخَذَ مِنْهَا شَاةً فَطَلَبَهُ الرَّاعِي حَتَّى انْتَزَعَهَا مِنْهُ قَالَ فَصَعِدَ الذئبُ على تل فأقعى واستذفر فَقَالَ عَمَدت إِلَى رزق رزقنيه الله عز وَجل أخذتُه ثمَّ انتزعتَه مِنِّي فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ تَاللَّهِ إِنْ رَأَيْتُ كَالْيَوْمِ ذئبا يَتَكَلَّمُ فَقَالَ الذِّئْبُ أَعْجَبُ مِنْ هَذَا رَجُلٌ فِي النَّخَلَاتِ بَيْنَ الْحَرَّتَيْنِ يُخْبِرُكُمْ بِمَا مَضَى وَبِمَا هُوَ كَائِن بعدكم وَكَانَ الرجل يَهُودِيّا فجَاء الرجل إِلَى النَّبِي صلى الله عَلَيْهِ وَسلم فَأسلم وَخَبره فَصَدَّقَهُ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ثُمَّ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّهَا أَمارَة من أَمَارَاتٌ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ السَّاعَةِ قَدْ أَوْشَكَ الرَّجُلُ أَن يخرج فَلَا يرجع حَتَّى تحدثه نعلاه وَسَوْطه مَا أَحْدَثَ أَهْلُهُ بَعْدَهُ “. رَوَاهُ فِي شَرْحِ السُّنَّةِ

    Abd Huraira said: A wolf came to a shepherd and took a sheep, and the shepherd went after it and snatched it from it. The wolf went up on a mound, and sitting on its haunches with its tail between its legs, it said, “I went to provision, God had provided for me and took it, then you snatched it from me.” The man declared, “I swear by God that have never seen anything like what I have seen to-day, a wolf talking!” The wolf replied, “Something more wonderful than this is a man among the palm-trees between the two harras [*] who can tell you what has happened and what will happen after your time.” The man who was a Jew came to the Prophet and told him and accepted Islam. The Prophet believed him and said, “There are signs before the last hour. A man will soon go out and not return before being informed by his sandals and his whip about the new things his family have been up to since he left them.” * Two mountains. It is transmitted in Sharh as-sunna .

    Hizam b. Hisham, on his father’s authority, said that his grandfather, Hubaish b. Khalid brother of Umm Ma’bad, told that when God’s messenger was put out of Mecca he went as an emigrant to Medina, he, Abu Bakr and `Amir b. Fuhaira, Abu Bakr’s client, with `Abdallah al-Laithi as their guide. They passed the two tents of Umm Ma’bad and asked her for some meat and dates meaning to buy them from her, but found she had nothing of that nature, for the provisions were exhausted as the tribe had been afflicted with famine. God’s messenger looked at a sheep at the side of the tent and said, “What is this sheep, Umm Ma’bad?” She replied, “It is a sheep too emaciated to follow the flock.” He asked if it had any milk, and when she replied that it was too exhausted for that, he asked if she would let him milk it. She said, “You for whom I would give my father and mother as ransom, if you see anything to milk in it, milk it.” God’s messenger asked it to be brought, and wiping its udder with his hand and mentioning the name of God most high, he prayed that she might have a blessing in her sheep. It then opened its legs for him, gave a flow of milk and ruminated. He called for a vessel which could hold enough for the people and milked an abundant supply into it till the froth appeared on the top. He gave her a drink till she was satisfied and gave his companions a drink till they were satisfied, then drank himself last of all. Immediately afterwards he milked it a second time, and when he had filled the vessel, he left it with her. He contracted with her [to accept Islam] and they departed from her. It is transmitted in Sharh as-sunna , by Ibn `Abd al-Barr in al-Isti’ab , and by Ibn al-Jauzi Kitab al-wafa’ . In the tradition a story follows.

    Abul `Ala’ quoted Samura b. Jundub as follows: We were with the Prophet and were taking turns out of a large bowl from morning till night; ten getting up and ten sitting down. He was asked from what it was being replenished and replied, “What are you wondering at[*]?” “It was being replenished only from here,” pointing with his hand to the sky. * Mirqat , 5:476, explains this as being addressed by Samura to Abul `Ala.

    Anas told that one very dark night Usaid b. Hudair and `Abbad b. Bishr talked with the Prophet about a matter which concerned them till a short part of the night had passed. They then left God’s messenger and went away, each having a small staff in his hand. The staff of one of them gave them light so that they walked by its light, and when their paths separated the other’s staff gave him light, so each walked by the light of his staff till he reached his family. Bukhari transmitted it.
