Is a servant rewarded if a wolf eats his sheep?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : He asks, "Is a person rewarded if a wolf eats his sheep?" Is that right? Yes, he is rewarded
in every living being there is reward في كل ذات كبد حرى أجر
Sunan Ibn Majah 3686Sahih (Darussalam)
, yes. But in any case, no one should offer his sheep to the wolf. However, if the wolf attacks and eats them, yes.

The questioner : Should one take the hadith ... as a creed ...?

The Shaykh : No, no, absolutely not, and this is not permissible. But this is for a reason, yes.
