Hazrat Musa (A.S.) and the order of cow:
And when Musa said to his people, ‘Allah commands you to sacrifice a cow,’ they said, ‘What! Are you making a mockery of us?’ He said, ‘I seek refuge with Allah from being one of the ignorant!’ They said, ‘Ask your Lord to make it clear to us what it should be like.’ He said, ‘He says it should be a cow, not old or virgin, but somewhere between the two. So do as you have been told.’ They said, ‘Ask your Lord to make it clear to us what colour it should be.’ He said, ‘He says it should be a yellow cow, a pleasure to all who look.’ They said, ‘Ask your Lord to make it clear to us what it should be like. Cows are all much the same to us. Then, if Allah wills, we will be guided.’ He said, ‘He says it should be a cow not trained to plough or irrigate the fields–completely sound, without a blemish on it.’ They said, ‘Now you have brought the truth.’ So they sacrificed it–but they almost did not do it.
(Holy Quran, Surah Al-Baqarah (The Heifer), Surah # 2: Ayah # 67-71)
Hazrat Yusuf (A.S.) and the Dream of Cow:
The King declared, ‘I dreamt of seven fat cows which seven thin ones ate and seven green ears of wheat and seven others which were dry. O counsellors! Explain my dream to me if you are those who can interpret visions!’ They said, ‘A jumbled mass of mixed-up dreams! We do not know the meaning of such things.’ The one of them who had been saved then said, remembering after a period, ‘I will tell you what it signifies, so send me out.’ ‘O truthful Yusuf, tell us of seven fat cows which seven thin ones ate and seven green ears of wheat and seven others which were dry so that I can return to them and let them know.’
(Holy Quran, Surah Yusuf (The Prophet Joseph), Surah # 12: Ayah # 43-46)
