The answer

The account of the gazelle speaking to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, has been narrated in various forms, including a weak narration in Al-Albani's Silsilah al-Da'ifah (Chain of Weak Narrations), and other narrations of which none are authentic, as mentioned by Al-Albani. Al-Bayhaqi transmitted the hadith of the gazelle, and a group of imams deemed it weak. Abu Nu'aim narrated it with a chain of transmission containing unknown narrators, and Al-Tabarani and Al-Mundhiri narrated similar accounts. Al-Hafiz Ibn Kathir stated that it has no basis. However, Al-Hafiz Al-Sakhawi mentioned that several hadiths have been reported on the matter, some of which strengthen others.
