This is a beautiful true story from the life of the Prophet Muhammad,
Sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam
. Our beloved Prophet
(SAWS)
was known to speak to animals, trees and even inanimate objects on many occasions. Children will marvel at the camel that decided to complain to Allah's Messenger
when it was being mistreated. Stories like these show another, often forgotten, side of the Prophet
and will hopefully foster in our children the same type of love that the children of Medina had for him when he was alive.
This incident is narrated by Imam Ahmad, Abu Dawud, Al Hakim and others (may Allah be pleased with them).
