The Prophet said, "When you hear the crowing of cocks, ask for Allah's Blessings for (their crowing indicates that) they have seen an angel. And when you hear the braying of donkeys, seek Refuge with Allah from Satan for (their braying indicates) that they have seen a Satan." }} | The Prophet said, "When you hear the crowing of cocks, ask for Allah's Blessings for (their crowing indicates that) they have seen an angel.

=== All prophets took care of sheep === | |||
Muhammad is reported of saying that all prophets took care of sheep. | |||
{{Quote|{{Bukhari|3|36|463}}|Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, <b>"Allah did not send any prophet but shepherded sheep."</b> His companions asked him, "Did you do the same?" The Prophet (ﷺ) replied, "Yes, I used to shepherd the sheep of the people of Mecca for some Qirats."}} | |||
Along with the Quranic statement that every 'umma' أمة (people/nation) was sent a messenger (itself a [[:en:Historical_Errors_in_the_Quran#Every_people_had_a_Muslim_warner/prophet|somewhat problematic statement]]): | |||
{{Quote|{{Quran|16|36}}|<b>And We certainly sent into every nation a messenger,</b> [saying], "Worship Allah and avoid ṭāghūt. [false objects of worship]." And among them were those whom Allah guided, and among them were those upon whom error was [deservedly] decreed. So proceed through the earth and observe how was the end of the deniers.}}{{Quote|{{Quran|35|24}}|Surely We have sent you with the truth as a bearer of good news and a warner; and <b>there is not a people but a warner has gone among them.</b>}} | |||
However there have been large groups of people living in areas completely isolated from sheep. Take for example the entire island of Australia (and it's smaller surrounding islands), where sheep were only introduced by humans via boat in 1788,<ref>[https://www.nma.gov.au/defining-moments/resources/merino-sheep-introduced#:~:text=The%20first%20sheep%20in%20Australia%20arrived%20with%20the%20First%20Fleet%20in%201788. Merino Sheep Introduced.] National Musuem Australia.</ref> yet people (i.e., the Aboriginals) have inhabited it for tens of thousands of years,<ref>[https://australian.museum/learn/science/human-evolution/the-spread-of-people-to-australia/#:~:text=Human%20Remains,continent%20about%2050%2C000%20years%20ago.

Australian Museum.</ref> and must have been sent a messenger as a completely isolated people if every 'umma' أمة (people/nation) truly had one. Therefore, for both of these statements to be true, it would contradict scientific fact. | |||
