In an oral tradition, one of these beings inspired the grammarian ibn Babshad to live as an ascetic. According to al-Tabari, the sakina, in the form of the head of one of these beings, was sewn up into Muhammad’s chest. Umar once whipped a Companion named for one of these beings, (15[1])whose credibility is often attacked by Islamic modernists. This creature is the namesake of the most prolific narrator of Sunni hadith, Abu (*) Hurairah. According to legend, Muhammad cut open his sleeve to avoid disturbing one of these creatures, and another was blessed after saving the prophet from (10[1])a snake. Hundreds of thousands of wild creatures of this type roam the streets of Istanbul. For 10 points, name these household animals that Islam considers ritually clean, unlike dogs. ■END■
