\nNarrated Abu Huraira:\n \n\nThe Prophet (ﷺ) said, "While a man was riding a cow, it turned towards him and said, 'I have not been \ncreated for this purpose (i.e. carrying), I have been created for ploughing." The Prophet (ﷺ) added, "I, Abu \nBakr and `Umar believe in the story." The Prophet (ﷺ) went on, "A wolf caught a sheep, and when the \nshepherd chased it, the wolf said, 'Who will be its guard on the day of wild beasts, when there will be \nno shepherd for it except me?' "After narrating it, the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "I, Abu Bakr and `Umar too \nbelieve it." Abu Salama (a sub-narrator) said, "Abu Bakr and `Umar were not present then."\n \nNarrated `Abdullah bin `Umar:\n \n\nThe Prophet (ﷺ) said, "While three men were walking, It started raining and they took shelter (refuge) in a \ncave in a mountain. A big rock rolled down from the mountain and closed the mouth of the cave. They \nsaid to each other, "Think of good deeds which you did for Allah's sake only, and invoke Allah by \ngiving reference to those deeds so that He may remove this rock from you." \nOne of them said, 'O Allah! I had old parents and small children and I used to graze the sheep for \nthem. On my return to them in the evening, I used to milk (the sheep) and start providing my parents \nfirst of all before my children. One day I was delayed and came late at night and found my parents \nsleeping. I milked (the sheep) as usual and stood by their heads. I hated to wake them up and disliked \nto give milk to my children before them, although my children were weeping (because of hunger) at \nmy feet till the day dawned. O Allah! If I did this for Your sake only, kindly remove the rock so that \nwe could see the sky through it.' So, Allah removed the rock a little and they saw the sky. \nThe second man said, 'O Allah! I was in love with a cousin of mine like the deepest love a man may \nhave for a woman. I wanted to outrage her chastity but she refused unless I gave her one hundred \nDinars. So, I struggled to collect that amount. And when I sat between her legs, she said, 'O Allah's \nslave! Be afraid of Allah and do not deflower me except rightfully (by marriage).' So, I got up. O \nAllah! If I did it for Your sake only, please remove the rock.' The rock shifted a little more. \nThen the third man said, 'O Allah! I employed a laborer for a Faraq of rice and when he finished his \njob and demanded his right, I presented it to him, but he refused to take it. So, I sowed the rice many \ntime till I gathered cows and their shepherd (from the yield). (Then after some time) He came and said \nto me, 'Fear Allah (and give me my right)." I said, 'Go and take those cows and the shepherd.' He said, \n'Be afraid of Allah! Don't mock at me.' I said, 'I am not mocking at you. Take (all that).' So, he took all \nthat. O Allah! If I did that for Your sake only, please remove the rest of the rock.' So, Allah removed \nthe rock."\n \nNarrated Abu Huraira:\n \n\nOnce the Prophet (ﷺ) was narrating (a story), while a bedouin was sitting with him. "One of the \ninhabitants of Paradise will ask Allah to allow him to cultivate the land. Allah will ask him, 'Are you \nnot living in the pleasures you like?' He will say, 'Yes, but I like to cultivate the land.' " The Prophet (ﷺ) \nadded, "When the man (will be permitted he) will sow the seeds and the plants will grow up and get \nripe, ready for reaping and so on till it will be as huge as mountains within a wink. Allah will then say \nto him, 'O son of Adam! Take here you are, gather (the yield); nothing satisfies you.' " On that, the \nbedouin said, "The man must be either from Quraish (i.e. an emigrant) or an Ansari, for they are \nfarmers, whereas we are not farmers." The Prophet (ﷺ) smiled (at this).\n \nNarrated Rafi` bin Khadij:\n \n\nMy uncle Zuhair said, "Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) forbade us to do a thing which was a source of help to us." I \nsaid, "Whatever Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said was right." He said, "Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) sent for me and asked, \n'What are you doing with your farms?' I replied, 'We give our farms on rent on the basis that we get \nthe yield produced at the banks of the water streams (rivers) for the rent, or rent it for some Wasqs of \nbarley and dates.' Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, 'Do not do so, but cultivate (the land) yourselves or let it be \ncultivated by others gratis, or keep it uncultivated.' I said, 'We hear and obey.'\n \nNarrated Abu Huraira:\n \n\nThe people say that Abu Huraira narrates too many narrations. In fact Allah knows whether I say the \ntruth or not. They also ask, "Why do the emigrants and the Ansar not narrate as he does?" In fact, my \nemigrant brethren were busy trading in the markets, and my Ansar brethren were busy with their \nproperties. I was a poor man keeping the company of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and was satisfied with what \nfilled my stomach. So, I used to be present while they (i.e. the emigrants and the Ansar) were absent, \nand I used to remember while they forgot (the Hadith). One day the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Whoever spreads \nhis sheet till I finish this statement of mine and then gathers it on his chest, will never forget anything \nof my statement." So, I spread my covering sheet which was the only garment I had, till the Prophet (ﷺ) \nfinished his statement and then I gathered it over my chest. By Him Who had sent him (i.e. Allah's \nApostle) with the truth, since then I did not forget even a single word of that statement of his, until this \nday of mine. By Allah, but for two verses in Allah's Book, I would never have related any narration \n(from the Prophet). (These two verses are): "Verily! Those who conceal the clear signs and the \nguidance which we have sent down .....(up to) the Merciful.' (2.159-160)\n
