Hadhrat Khubaib (R.A.)
It has been reported from ‘Amr Bin Umayyah that the Holy Prophet (SAW) sent him alone on a mission to spy among the Quraish. He says, “I came to the place where Hadhrat Khubaib had been impaled and I was afraid of the guards. I climbed the wooden post and untied Khubaib. He fell down onto the ground. For some time I remained away and then came back and began searching for him where I had left him.My searching was to no avail; I did not find Hadhrat Khubaib’s corpse anywhere as though the earth had gulped him up. His corpse has not been traced anywhere so far. (Hayatus Sahabah)
Hadhrat Safinah
It is reported from Muhammad Ibn Munkadir that Nabi (SAW) servant, Hadhrat Safinah says, I once embarked on a voyage. The boat in which I was travelling broke up and sank. I seated myself on a plank and kept myself afloat. The plank brought me and threw me into a bush in which I encountered a lion lurking. Upon spotting me the lion rushed towards me. I cried out “Oh father of lions I am a slave of the Messenger of Allah!” Hearing this the lion hid its head then inclined towards me and lifted me onto its shoulder. In this manner it carried me out of the bush and placed me on the way. It then roared in a low tone, which I assumed was his way of bidding me farewell. This was my last meeting with that lion. (Hayatus Sahabah)
Awf Ibn Malik
Hadhrat Awf Ibn Malik reported, “One afternoon I was lying asleep in the church of Bariha.” In those days this church was used as a mosque and prayers were being offered inside it. The sound of prayers awoke Awf Ibn Malik from his slumber. He saw a lion coming towards him, disconcerted, he stood up towards his weapons. The lion spoke, “wait! I have been sent to you with a message so that you may convey this message on.” I asked the lion, “who has sent you?” The lion said, “Allah has sent me to you so that you may know that the departing Mua’wiya is one of the occupants of paradise.” I asked, “Which Mua’wiya?” The lion verified “The son of Abu Sufyan!” (Hayatus Sahabah)
Sufyan Ibn Harbad and Safwan Ibn Ummayah
In Ibn Wahab’s tradition it says Sufyan Ibn Harabad and Safwan Ibn Umayyah saw a wolf, which attempted to capture a boy. The boy entered the Haram and the wolf retracted. When both onlookers expressed their astonishment at this the wolf spoke: “a stranger thing is this, that Hadhrat Muhammad (SAW) is in Madinah and he calls you towards paradise, and you call him towards Hell”. (Hayatus Sahabah)
