Goat was raised from dead, shaking its ears
Famous companion of Rasool Sayyiduna Jabir رَضِىَ اللهُ عَـنْهُ has stated: (At the time of the battle of the trench) While we were digging the trench, suddenly a big boulder appeared. No one could break it. We came to the Holy Nabi صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم and told him about the boulder. The Beloved and Blessed Nabi صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم stood up. He صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم had not eaten anything for three days and there was a stone tied to his blessed stomach. Taking a pickaxe in his blessed hand, he صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم struck the boulder, breaking it into pieces and turning it into a heap of sand. (Sahih Bukhari, Kitab-ul-Maghaazi, vol. 3, pp. 51, Hadees 4101)
It is also stated in another narration that he صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم struck the boulder with the pickaxe three times. Each time, light glowed from the boulder and he صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم saw the cities of Syria, Iran and Yemen in the light. He صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم then gave his blessed companions رَضِىَ اللهُ عَـنْهُم the good news of conquering these three countries. (Sharh-uz-Zurqaani, vol. 3, pp. 31)
Sayyiduna Jabir رَضِىَ اللهُ عَـنْهُ stated: Seeing the stone tied to the blessed stomach of the Holy Nabi صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم due to remaining hungry continuously, I felt a deep pang of sorrow in my heart. Therefore, taking permission from the Holy Nabi صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, I came home and told my wife, ‘I have seen the Holy Nabi صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم in the state of severe hunger and I cannot have the patience any longer. Do you have anything to eat?’ She replied, ‘There is nothing at home except one Sa’ [صَاع] (4 kilos approx.) of barley.’ I said, ‘Grind this barley quickly and knead the dough.’ Then, slaughtering my domesticated young goat and chopping its meat into pieces, I said to my wife, ‘Cook the meat and loaves of bread quickly while I returned to the Holy Nabi صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم.’ As I was about to exit the home, she said, ‘We have only a small quantity of food, so fetch the Holy Nabi صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم along with only a few companions do not fetch more people, in case I feel disgraced.’
