Narrated by Amina Mohammed Wazir
The Prophet Mohammed wanted to send the hyena away so he could pray in peace, so he ordered the hyena to fetch him the cow’s udder. He began to wash before prayer. The hyena was so fast that he brought the udder to the Prophet before he had finished washing. The Prophet was angry with the hyena who disturbed him while he was praying and he cursed him and threw his toothbrush at him, to make the hyena limp.
Had the hyena been as fast as before, he would have eaten all human beings.
ጅብ ለምን እንደሚያነክስ
በአሚና መሃመድ ዋዚር የተተረከ
ነብዩ መሃመድ በፀጥታ ለመፀለይ ፈልገው ጅቡን ሄዶ የላም ግት (ጡት) እንዲያመጣ አዘዙት፡፡ ከዚያም ከፀሎት በፊት እየታጠቡ ሳለ ጅቡ በጣም በፍጥነት ሄዶ ታጥበው ሳይጨርሱ የላሟን ግት ይዞ መጣ፡፡ ነብዩም ጅቡ ፀሎታቸውን እየረበሸ ስላስቸገራቸው በጣም በመናደድ ረግመውት ሽባም ይሆን ዘንድ የጥርሳቸውን ብሩሽ ወረወሩበት፡፡
ጅቡ ታዲያ እንደድሮው ፈጣም ቢሆን ኖሮ የሰውን ልጅ በሙሉ በልቶ ይጨርስ ነበር፡፡
