Hadith 77

(The book) ‘Al Dalaail’ of Al Tabari – From Al Abbas Bin marouf, from Abu Al-Hassan Al Karkhy, from Al-Hassan Bin Imran, from Zur’ah, from Sama’at, from Abu Baseer who said, ‘I went out with Ali-asws Bin Al-Husayn-asws to Makkah. We reached Al-Abwa, and there were sheep, and an ewe had lagged behind from the flock, and it was bleating with intense bleating and turned to it’s lamb bleating and was intense in its search. Every time the lamb paused; the ewe bleated. So the lamb followed it. He-asws said: ‘O Abu Baseer! Do you know what the ewe is saying to it’s lamb? ’ I said, ‘No, by Allah-azwj! I don’t know’. He-asws said: ‘It is saying, ‘Join up with the sheep, for your sister had lagged behind last year in this place, and the wolf had devoured her’’. [96]
