Hadith 32

they do not back each other, and do not disperse to seek their livelihood except at night? These, along with their access, are like scared of the human beings, but (as if) oppressed, prevented from them. And had it not been that they would have been in their dwelling and constricted upon them. Then, it has been Made to be in the dog, from between these predators, kindness upon its owner and defending from him, and protecting for him. So, it moves upon the walls and the rooves in the darkness of the night to safeguard the house of its master, and defend the treachery from him, and reaches from its love for its master that it gives itself for the death instead of him and his livelihood and his wealth and is intimate at the peak of intimacy to the extent that it is patient upon the hunger and the disloyalty. So, why is the dog natured upon this intimacy except for it to become a safeguard for the human being, for it being eyes, with fangs, and claws, and a loud bark to frighten the thief from it to avoid the places which are to be protected, and discourages him? O Mufazzal! Contemplate on the face of an animal, how it is, and you will see the two eyes as two fixed in from of it to see what is in front of it, lest it bangs into a wall of falls into a hole. And you see the mouth as ripped, cracked at the bottom of the nose, and if the mouth had been ripped just as it was from the human being in the front of the chin it would not have been able to attain anything with it from the ground. Do you not see that the human being cannot attain the food with his mouth, but with his hand, being an honour for him over the rest of the eaters? So, when there does not happen to be a hand for the animal to take the fodder with it, its mouth has been Made to be ripped from its bottom to grab upon the fodder with it, then cut it, and it is assisted by the lips to take with these what is near and what is far. Consider its tail and the benefit for it in it, for it is at the status of the lid upon the back, and the shame altogether, covering these and hiding these. And from its benefits is that what is between the back and the stomach from these is excreta upon which the flies and the mosquitoes gather, so the tail has been Made for it like the whisk to drive them away from that place. And from it is that the animal rests to move it and discharge it right and left, for if was standing upon the four (legs) as a whole, and the two front (legs) were occupied with carrying the body from the discharging and the moving, for it in the movement of the tail, there is rest. And in it are other benefits which the imaginations are deficient from knowing its occurrences in a time of need to it. So, from that is that the animal falls in the mud, and there does not happen to be anything more assisting upon extracting it than grabbing it by its tail. And in th
