The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed the Fajr prayer when suddenly he saw a pack of nearly a hundred wolves approaching. The wolves' fangs were bared and their eyes were red with hunger. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to them, "Will you give up some of your food to satisfy them and ensure safety for everything else?" They complained about their need to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and he said, "Give them permission." So they allowed the wolves to come forward, and the wolves left while howling.

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ شِمْرِ بْنِ عَطِيَّةَ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ مُزَيْنَةَ أَوْ جُهَيْنَةَ قَالَ

صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْفَجْرَ فَإِذَا هُوَ بِقَرِيبٍ مِنْ مِائَةِ ذِئْبٍ قَدْ أَقْعَيْنَ وُفُودُ الذِّئَابِ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «تَرَضَّخُونَ لَهُمْ شَيْئًا مِنْ طَعَامِكُمْ وَتَأْمَنُونَ عَلَى مَا سِوَى ذَلِكَ؟» فَشَكَوْا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْحَاجَةَ قَالَ «فَآذِنُوهُنَّ» قَالَ فَآذَنُوهُنَّ فَخَرَجْنَ وَلَهُنَّ عُوَاءٌ
