THE CRYING TRUNK OF THE TREE

Jaabir ibn ‘Abdullaah (may Allaah be pleased with
him and his father) reported that the Prophet
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used
to go and stand next to a tree or palm-tree on
Fridays. A woman or a man of the Ansaar said: "O
Messenger of Allaah, should we not make for you a
minbar ("pulpit")?" He said, "If you wish." So they
made a minbar for him, and when the next Friday
came, he was shown to the minbar. The tree cried
like a small child, then the Prophet (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) came down and
hugged the crying tree until it calmed down."
Jaabir said: "It was crying because of the dhikr
(remembrance of Allaah) that it used to hear." (al-
Bukhaari, 3319).
The above hadeeth shows that :
(i) The trunk of the tree cried (feeling)
(ii) It missed the dhikr it used to hear from
Prophet (PBUH) (senses)
Trees Prostrate to Allah :
See you not that whoever is in the heavens and
whoever is on the earth, and the sun, and the
moon, and the stars, and the mountains, and the
trees, and Ad-Dawaabb [moving (living) creatures,
beasts], and many of mankind prostrate
themselves to Allaah. But there are many (men) on
whom the punishment is justified. And whomsoever
Allaah disgraces, none can honour him. Verily,
Allaah does what He wills”
[al-Hajj 22:18]
