Of the Miracles of Allah’s Messenger Prayer and Peace upon him

Understanding Animals

Imam Muslim, Ahmed and Abu Dawood narrated:

One day, Allah’s messenger prayer and peace upon him went into one of the fruit gardens of one of the Ansar (supporters).   There was a camel there, which went to him making noises, with tears from his eyes.  Allah’s messenger prayer and peace upon him put stroked his head and wiped his tears, which settled him down.  Allah’s messenger prayer and peace upon him said: “Who is the owner of this Camel?” A man from the Ansar came and said: “It is min Allah’s messenger”.  Allah’s messenger prayer and peace upon him said: “You should fear Allah concerning this animal Allah made you in possession of, he complained to me that you make it hungry and tire it out”. 

Allah’s messenger prayer and peace upon him understood the camels talk and complaint, as Allah the Highest made him understand it. 

Making people understand other creatures like animals and birds even insects, is one of the bounties Allah the Highest bestows on His prophets and messengers, as happened with Solomon peace upon him who understood birds also understood the ante.  It is also one of the signs of prophecy.

This miracle was one of the bounties upon Allah’s messenger prayer and peace upon him.

Allah’s prayer and peace be upon Mohamed and upon his family and companions.
