It is mentioned in a hadith: “A guest stayed with a man from the Children of Israel, and in his house was a barking dog. The female dog said, ‘By Allah, I will not bark at my family’s guest,’ so her puppies howled.”

The questioner : I do not know if this story was reported. The point is, there was a man who had a dog that was always howling at whoever came or went. When someone would arrive, he wanted to make it quiet, so he used a method, meaning he told it not to talk. He said, “I will tell you, I tried the experiment with it, but when people came, it started howling with its belly, and its puppies started howling.” So I say that here the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned a hadith saying: “There will be people from my Ummah with certain characteristics.” I do not know if this is correct?

The Shaykh : There is a hadith like that, but I do not remember it right now.

The questioner : Yes, is it in the methodology?

The Shaykh: Yes.

The questioner: All right.
