Hadhrat Mujaahid (rahmatullah alayh) narrated that once Nabi Nooh (alayhis salaam) passed by a lion. He kicked the lion. The lion lifted its head and with its paw struck the leg of Nabi Nooh (alayhis salaam). The wound pained severely. Nabi Nooh (alayhis salaam) could not sleep a wink that night due to the pain. Then he supplicated: “O Allah! Your dog has wounded me.” Allah Ta’ala revealed to him: “Verily, Allah is not pleased with zulm (injustice/cruelty) You had initiated it.”
