Jami at-Tirmidhi 3677 (Book 49, Hadith 73) #29335
Belief in the Purpose of Creation

SUMMARY: The hadith is about a man riding a cow, which said it was not created for this purpose. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and his companions Abu Bakr and Umar believed in the cow's statement.

Narrated Abu Salamah bin 'Abdur-Rahman: from Abu Hurairah, who said that the Messenger of Allah said: "While a man was riding a cow it said: "I was not created for this, I was only created to till'." So the Messenger of Allah said: "I believe in that, myself, and Abu Bakr, 'Umar". Abu Salamah said: "And the two of them were not among the people that day and Allah knows best".
حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلاَنَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا سَلَمَةَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ بَيْنَا رَجُلٌ رَاكِبٌ بَقَرَةً إِذْ قَالَتْ لَمْ أُخْلَقْ لِهَذَا إِنَّمَا خُلِقْتُ لِلْحَرْثِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ آمَنْتُ بِذَلِكَ أَنَا وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ وَمَا هُمَا فِي الْقَوْمِ يَوْمَئِذٍ وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ ‏.‏ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ نَحْوَهُ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks to the importance of believing in Allah's creation and its purpose. It tells us that even animals have their own purpose, which should be respected by humans. In this case, the cow was not meant to be ridden but rather used for tilling land. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and his companions Abu Bakr and Umar believed in what the cow said, showing us that we should respect all creatures of Allah's creation. We should also believe that everything has its own purpose as determined by Allah Almighty.
