Prophetic Miracles Relating to Animals
Lady Ayesha, may Allah be pleased with her, tells us of a pet they used to have, she said, "When the Messenger of Allah was with us it stayed in its place, without moving. It was only when he went out that it would move about."
Abu Sa'id Al Khudri tells us a story about a wolf that spoke, and the following is an extract. A shepherd was herding his sheep when a wolf snatched one of them, however, the shepherd succeeded to get it back. Rather than running away, the wolf sat down on its haunches and said, "Don't you fear Allah? You have come between me and my provision!" The shepherd exclaimed, "How extraordinary, a wolf that speaks just like a human!" The wolf replied, "Shall I tell you something that is even more extraordinary? The Messenger of Allah who is now between those two passes tells his people news of past happenings!" The shepherd went to the Prophet and told him what had happened, whereupon the Prophet told the shepherd, "Go and tell the people" The Prophet said, "The wolf spoke the truth."
Safina was a servant of the Messenger of Allah . One day Safina set sail in a boat and sailed in the wrong direction and landed on an island in which there was a lion. As the lion approached, Safina told it, "I am the servant of the Messenger of Allah," whereupon the lion nudged him with his shoulder and guided him to the right direction.
When the Prophet was migrating he stayed in a cave in Mount Thawr. The unbelievers passed by the cave and found a spider's web covering its entrance and said to one another, "If he had entered it the spider would not have spun its web over the entrance."

Infants who Bore Witness to the Prophethood
After the victory at Khaybar, a roasted sheep was prepared by a Jewess and Abu Hurayrah tells us that the Messenger of Allah and some of his Companions started to eat from it. Then, the Prophet told them not to eat from the roast because it had told him that it had been poisoned. However Bishr, Al Bara's son had already swallowed some and died. The Prophet asked the Jewess why she had done this and she replied, "If you are a prophet, what I did would be of no harm to you, if you are a king then I would have freed people from you."
In another version reported by Anas, the Jewess told the Prophet "I wanted to kill you" whereupon he replied, "Allah would not have given you the power to do so." The Companions said, "We will kill her," but he told them "No."
During the last illness of the Prophet he said, "The food of Khaybar returns to me and at times, it makes me choke." Anas said that
