Because of Grudge To Wolves That Prey on Chickens

Narrated in ancient times, in a village at the foot of Mount, live a farmer with his grandson. They have a patch of rice fields and dozens of chickens. Every day, after carrying out the morning prayers, the grandchildren feed the chickens. Sometimes, among the chickens, some lay eggs. The egg was stored for sale at the market that morning, as usual, the grandson went to the chicken coop to feed the chickens. However, he was surprised to see the cage in ruins. Blood droplets scattered everywhere, Wow, there must have been wild animals that preyed on them, thought the grandson of Grandfather. Then, he counted the number of chickens. Apparently, that 3 chickens are missing. He reported the incident to his grandfather.

The grandfather was shocked and immediately looked around at the state of the chicken coop. After that, the grandfather invited his grandson to research the gardens around the cage. On a wet ground, the grandfather found the footprints of the animal there. He immediately examined it. This is a wolf's footprint, my granddaughter. We must immediately repair the cage and be more careful, said the grandfather. Then the grandfather invited his grandson to cut bamboo, to repair the chicken coop. The grandson helped him with sincerity.

When he looked back at the blood splattered in the cage, he cried. Why cry, my granddaughter? asked the grandfather. I imagine how scared the chickens were last night, Kek. How sick the three chickens were slaughtered by wolves. Why are there animals as bad as wolves, Kek? "Asked the grandson, sobbing.

The existence of greedy and cruel wolves, it becomes a test from God for us. We don't want to be deceived by wolves and have to take action against the wolf, the grandfather replied. Then, tomorrow night I will stand guard, I will bring machetes and arrows. If the wolf approaches the cage, I'll aim, Kek! "The grandfather smiled as he stroked his grandson's head.

After finishing repairing the cage, the grandfather said, "Grandson, grandfather will go to the fields, see our yellowing rice, this week can be harvested. You should go to the market. Sell those five eggs and cassava leaves. Exchange with herbs and side dishes. what you want. " all right, bro, answered his grandson.

Towards Maghrib, the grandson was already in Surau. Just as the sun sank in its surroundings, he chanted the call to prayer. His voice is very sweet. The view of the call to prayer echoed to the summit of Mount Arjuna. Nature also dissolves in takbir and tasbih to Allah.

After the call to prayer is finished, not long after the Maghrib prayer in congregation is held. Then, the wall-mounted surau was boisterous by the sounds of children who were studying the Qur'an. An ustadz (teacher of recitation) guides them to read the Qur'an.

Towards the evening, the surau was calm. The children are silent and they pay attention and listen to the ustadz's story, about the moral glory of the Majesty of the Prophet Muhammad. Ustadz started the story, Your Majesty, the Prophet was very gentle, very loving, and merciful. In fact, even for animals, he is very dear. Once upon a time, in the course of the war with his friends, the King of the Prophet rested. Among the friends who joined him, there were those who discovered bird nests. Inside the nest are two beautiful young birds. While the mother is not in the nest, a friend takes the two birds.

Not long after, the mother bird arrived. Seeing his two children not there, he was sad and yawning very loudly. The voice of the mother bird was heard by the Prophet When she saw it, she said to her companions, "Who took this bird child?" Come on, give it back! Do not torture this bird! "Then, the friend returned the two birds. So that's how, my children, the morality of the Prophet, is very full of love and grace to anyone!" Ustadz said. Then, can't we kill animals? sorry for the goat? "asked a student very innocently. But why do we eat mutton on holidays (idul adha)?
