Imam Ali (PBUH) said: It may happen that you ask (Allah) for something and He does not give it to you in order to endow you with (something) of better quality (later).

The researchers behind the discovery, described in a paper published November 11 in Nature Ecology & Evolution, say they hope it will lead to better protection for the species, which is primarily threatened by the use of wire snares. The method the researchers used to find the creature could also help find other "lost" species, they say.

Imam al-Sadiq (PBUH) said: I recommend you to invocation, because you cannot get nigh to Allah by any means like it.

Imam al-Sadiq (PBUH) said: Ask (Allah) for your requisite and insist on demanding because Allah likes the persistence of the insisting believers of His servants.

The silver-backed chevrotain, also known as the Vietnamese mouse-deer, is about the size of a large rabbit, with a silver sheen on its rump. The creatures have tusk-like incisors, visible in the new photographs of the animals. Because chevrotains lack horns or antlers, and the fangs are especially long in males, scientists think the males use them to compete for territory and mates.

It is a really cool species, and we had long hoped to find proof they were still around says Andrew Tilker a biologist specializing in Southeast Asian wildlife at Global Wildlife Conservation an environmental group and a doctoral student with the Leibniz Institute for Zoo and Wildlife Research in Germany.

The last known scientific recording of the animal, known as the silver-backed chevrotain (Tragulus versicolor), dates to 1990, when a hunter killed one and donated the specimen to scientists.

Imam al-Sadiq (PBUH) said: Treat your ailments with charity and repel varieties of affliction by invocation.

Imam al-Sadiq (PBUH) said: On the Reckoning Day, Allah will count the invocations of believers as some good actions for them and thereby He will promote their position in Heaven.

Lost to the outside world for a generation—and feared extinct—a small deer-like species with tiny fangs has been photographed tiptoeing through a dry lowland forest in southern Vietnam.
