Loyalty is found in abundance in 3 and is lacking in 3.
As for where loyalty is found:
- Men
- Dogs
- Sheep
As for where loyalty is never present or found:
-Women
- Pigs
- Camels
Loyal creatures:
A man is by his nature a loyal creature, only when he has something great to lose or gain would his loyalty be in question. Even the most disgusting scumbag is at least loyal to his stomach. It is not a coincidene that the Arabs say: "Eat well, live well." From a young age, he is overprotective over the vulnerable ones in his family (Mum, sisters etc). He proudly claims his country, his tribe, his lineage is the best amongst men even though his own soul disagrees. He thus attaches himself close to the surroundings that he feels he belongs to and holds that sacred.
Dogs, apart from their hideous hygiene are quite an excellent breed of animals. Their love and loyalty for their owner is remarkable. If the dog was to see his owner being crushed by a train the dog would rush and attempt a hero's rescue. Is it a wonder why most animal rescue teams always have a dog nearby? It's because a dog can be trusted, we can forgive that he shits on the road, licks everyone and barks with prudent manners. The dog is a bastard, but he is a loyal bastard. It's sophisticated and loving nature outweighs the slight negatives.
Sheep is a meek version of the dog, no wonder a dog is used to guard a flock of sheep. It's because loyalty only understands loyalty. Perhaps now you yunderstand the meaning of the Prophet (saw): "Every shepherd is responsible for their flock." The sheep doesn't rebel, it has a kind nature, it has nasab lineage (there is no adultery amongst sheep). The sheep is like a male baby, he follows the shepherd even if the shepherd takes the sheep to uncultivated deserted wastelands, he will joyfully go along only due to that resonation of loyalty.
Unloyal creatures:
Women, were known since the time of Adam (as) to be unloyal, even to themselves. That is why I shall not refer to them as the male's other half. A woman has no love in her heart for anything permanent, she will readily abandon her parents who raised her, her community which supported her, society which gave her upbringing for an unknown man whom she seeks attention and love. Even to this estranged man whom she sacrificed everything for, she will soon become unloyal too. That is when she bears a child. A woman has no feeling of patriotic fervour in her, is it no wonder she only inherits a little? It's because had she been given a greater share, she would have given the families properties to an outsider. Is it not a wonder that the Prophet (saw) didnt expect much from women? He (saw) only said: "After fear of Allah a believer gains nothing better for himself than a good wife who obeys him if he gives her a command, pleases him if he looks at her, is true to him if he adjures her to do something, and is sincere toward him regarding her person and his property if he is absent." (At Tirmidhi) Basically a miraculous woman is one who is loyal, because loyalty is against her nature. it's like finding a million dollars in the alleyway.
Pigs are somewhat like women, they dont care about loyalty or honour, a rival male pig can sexually please himself with the wife of another pig without the former pig being injured sensitively in the least. Pigs eat their own feaces, not out of starvation but rather out of the mentality that it wishes to answer to nobody but itself. It doesnt care about anything, doesnt cry about anything, doesn't love anything.
Camels are like money, they are attracted to those who are flamboyant and avoid those who are meek. During the wars of the medieval ages where camels were a prized capture for booty, most warriors would notice that the camels wouldn't wait around to be captured, they willingly ran off to the enemy camp (in some cases without hearing the clashing of swords). They differ from women in the sense that the camel will only give itself up for booty once it sees the strength of the enemy whilst the female have no insurance policy whatsoever (is it a wonder why they always choose the wrong man). The camel is meant only for travel and meat. Any other love for a camel is considered israaf (extravagant).
