Now this is interesting, are the two of you arguing this, I mean debating it?
Do you consider the fact about the ears, not true?
Just a query ?
geez... dude! Its just a question. I never heard such a thing before, so I was curious.
Ah ahem... Well I have my own doubts. A doubt is a doubt because its so close to truth dude.
Anyway the story goes thence.
Imam Ali (a.s.), (The only person in recorded history, who called upon people to ask anything about the heavens and earth and he would answer).
He was going to the mosque for prayers and two mischevious people planned that they will ask a difficult question and delay Imams Prayers to the stage that it gets Qaza (donno the meaning of this, means overdue but cannot explain.).
So they thought about it and asked this question thinking that Imam will stand and name / count all the animals. And his simple answer was this.
Donno if this incident is recorded in Nahjul Balagha, but there is much more information, Just google Nahjul Balagha and you will find quite a few Online copies.
