Narrated Abu Huraira RA, I heard Allah's Apostle SAWS 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 be Allah." The Prophet SAWS said, "But I believe in it and so does Abu Bakr and 'Umar."

It has been written that a wolf also spoke to a shepherd during the Prophet's SAWS lifetime near Al-Madinah, as narrated in Musnad Imam Ahmad in the Musnad of Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri RA (Vol.3, Page 83):

Narrated Abu Sa’id Al-Khudri RA (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 SAWS 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 SAWS and informed the whole story.

Allah's Messenger SAWS ordered for the proclamation of a congregational salah then he SAWS came out and asked the shepherd to inform the people (about the story), and he informed them.

Then Allah's Messenger SAWS said, "He (the shepherd) has spoken the truth. By Him (Allah) in Whose Hands 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 shoe-laces of a person speak to him and his thigh inform him about his family as to what happened to them after him.
