Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو قَطَنٍ حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ كَانَ لِآلِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَحْشٌ إِذَا خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ اشْتَدَّ وَلَعِبَ وَأَقْبَلَ وَأَدْبَرَ فَإِذَا أَحَسَّ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَدْ دَخَلَ رَبَضَ فَلَمْ يَتَرَمْرَمْ كَرَاهِيَةَ أَنْ يُؤْذِيَهُ.
English Translation
Aisha said: The household of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had a wild [pet] animal. When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) went out, it would run about, play, and go back and forth. But when it sensed that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had come in, it would crouch down and stay perfectly still, for fear of disturbing him.
