The Prophet ﷺ used to narrate to his Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) the news of the previous nations and the miracles performed for them, to deduce lessons therefrom. In this hadeeth, the Prophet ﷺ related two miraculous incidents that took place in the past. First, “While a man was riding a cow, it turned towards him and said, 'I have not been created for this purpose (i.e., riding), I have been rather created for ploughing.’” Secondly, “A wolf caught a sheep, and when the shepherd chased it,” to rescue it, “the wolf said, 'Who will be its guard on the day of wild beasts,” near the Last Hour, meaning that there shall be no people left as they would all die and perish, the earth would be destroyed, only beasts would remain and then, there shall be no shepherds to protect the sheep from the wolves and beasts, “when there will be no shepherd for it except me?’” In these miraculous incidents, the cow and the wolf spoke by the permission and power of Allah, Exalted is He, and he ﷺ said, "I, Aboo Bakr and ‘Umar too believe it,” meaning that they believed in these two unusual and miraculous incidents that were contrary to the law-structure of the uniayah (i.e., natural laws), because the One who created these systems Is (effortlessly) Able to break them. The Prophet ﷺ mentioned Aboo Bakr and ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) even though they were not present at that time out of his unshakable confidence in them, because he ﷺ knew of the sincerity of their faith, the strength of their certitude, and their certain knowledge of the great Omnipotence of Allah and the perfection of His power. The hadeeth highlights one of the signs of his prophethoodﷺ. It also underlines an apparent virtue of Aboo Bakr and ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with them). It is deduced therefrom that animals should be used only for their customary purposes, because Allah, Exalted is He, has prepared these creatures and subjugated them to Man to perform the tasks for which they were created. When they are used to perform tasks other than those for which they were created, it constitutes an act of injustice. It is also inferred that cows should only be used for ploughing, not for riding. It is also deduced therefrom that a manifestation of faith is to believe absolutely everything that the Prophet ﷺreported..
