Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the meaning of the words of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in this hadith: "A camel with a bellowing sound, a horse with a neighing sound, a sheep with a bleating sound, fluttering rags, and a soul with a screaming voice"?

Answer:
Something and something. I do not think any of you is ignorant of the bellowing of the camel, nor is any of you ignorant of the bleating of the sheep or the lowing of the cow. Is any of you ignorant of this? You are Arabs, eloquent Arabs. Is any of you ignorant of this? What else is there? A horse with a neighing sound. The neighing of the horse is the sound of the horse. All of you know this, even the non-Arabs know this. Fluttering rags. The rags, and Allah knows best, are wealth, whether clothing or other things. Yes. And a soul with a screaming voice. A soul with a scream. It may be, and Allah knows best,
The intended meaning is what was mentioned before, namely the bleating of the sheep and the bellowing of the camel, and it means everything that has a soul and life and has a voice. It may also be intended that the soul is one that was killed without right, and that on the Day of Resurrection, retribution will be taken from it for the victim on the Day of Resurrection, and the first thing to be divided among people on the Day of Resurrection is in blood matters. Yes.
And His saying: "It will come on the Day of Resurrection with a silent neck." Silent is that which has no voice, such as gold, silver, and clothes. Yes.
