====Non-speaking objects will start speaking (cell phones?)==== | |||
{{Quote|Jami' al-Tirmidhi Vol. 4, Book 7, Hadith 2181 (sahih)| | |||
Abu Sa'eed Al-Khudri narrated that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: | |||
"By the One in Whose Hand is my soul! The Hour will not be established until predators speak to people and until the tip of a man's whip and the straps on his sandal speak to him, and his thigh informs him of what occurred with his family after him." | |||
}} | |||
According to some apologists the predictions of speaking predators, whips, straps and thighs are predictions of modern technology like mobile phones, although the hadith literally talks about predators, whips, straps and thighs, not man-made objects designed for communication. Also in the hadith, the objects are themselves speaking, there is no indication that people will talk to each other ''through'' those objects. | |||
The idea that a thing that doesn't talk could talk wasn't outside of the capability of imagination of primitive people in the 7th century and also it was nothing new. The Old Testament already had a story about a talking snake: | |||
{{Quote|The Bible, Genesis 3:1| | |||
Now '''the serpent''' was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made. '''He said''' to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?” | |||
}} | |||
And for Muhammad, talking objects wouldn't even be much miraculous, since he was hearing voices regularly. For example he heard a stone saluting him: | |||
{{Quote|{{Muslim|30|5654}}|Jabir b. Samura reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: I recognise '''the stone in Mecca which used to pay me salutations''' before my advent as a Prophet and I recognise that even now.}} | |||
