Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: There was a household of the Ansar who had a camel on which they used to carry water. They had difficulty controlling that camel, and the camel refused to let anything be loaded on its back. The Ansar came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "We had a camel on which we used to carry water; now it has become difficult for us to control it, and it does not let us use its back, while the situation is that the crops and the date palms are thirsty (that is, they need to be watered)." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to his Companions: "Get up." They stood up. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came into that garden, and the camel was in one corner of the garden. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) began walking towards it. The Ansar said: "O Messenger of Allah! It has become like a dog; we fear that it will harm you." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No harm will come to me from it." When the camel saw the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), it came walking towards him and fell down in prostration before him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) took hold of its forelock, and it had become more submissive than it had ever been before. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) put it back to its work. His Companions said to him: "O Messenger of Allah! This animal, which has no intellect, is prostrating to you; we have intellect, so we have more right to prostrate to you." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It is not proper for any human being to prostrate to another human being. If it were proper for a human being to prostrate to a human being, I would have commanded the wife to prostrate to her husband, because the husband's right over her is greater; so much so that if, from the parting of his hair to his feet, there were boils from which pus and blood-mixed discharge were flowing, and then the woman came to her husband and licked it, even then she could not fulfil that husband's right."
Ahmad and al-Bazzar recorded it, and its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih, except for the narrator named Hafs, who is the nephew of Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him), and he is thiqah (trustworthy).
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: Some people came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "O Messenger of Allah! Our camel has broken loose and gone into a garden." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to it and said: "Come forward." So it came forward with its head lowered, until the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) put a halter on it and handed that camel over to its owners. Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him: "O Messenger of Allah! It seems as if it knows that you are the Prophet of Allah." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Everything between its two edges knows that I am a Prophet, except the disbelievers among the jinn and humans."
Al-Tabarani recorded it, and its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy), though there is weakness in some of its narrators.
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: A man from the Ansar had two camels. He put them both into a garden and shut the gate. Then he came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), intending that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) should supplicate for them. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was sitting with some people from the Ansar. He said: "O Prophet of Allah! I have come regarding a matter. I have two camels which have both become unruly. I have put them both into a garden and shut the gate. I would like you to supplicate for me that Allah Almighty subdue them for me." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to his Companions: "Get up with us." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) went, then he came to the gate and said: "Open the gate!" That man became fearful for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Open the gate." He opened the gate, and one of the two camels was near the gate. When it saw the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), it prostrated before him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Bring me something with which I can tie its head and hand it over to your control." The man brought a halter. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) tied its head and brought it under control. Then he went to a corner of the garden where the other camel was. When it saw him, it too went down in prostration. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to that man: "Bring me something with which I can tie its head." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) tied its head and handed it over to that man's control. Then he said: "Go! These two will not disobey you." When the Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw this situation, they said: "These two camels, which have no intellect, have prostrated to you; should we not prostrate to you?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I will not permit anyone to prostrate to another. If I were to permit anyone to prostrate to another, I would have instructed the woman to prostrate to her husband."
Al-Tabarani recorded it; its chain contains a narrator, Abu Azzah al-Dabbagh, whom Ibn Hibban declared thiqah (trustworthy); his name is al-Hakam bin Tahman. The remaining narrators of this report are thiqat (trustworthy).
Sayyiduna Ya'la bin Murrah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I saw three things concerning the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) which no one saw before me, nor will anyone see after me. I was going on a journey with him. When we reached a certain place on the way, we passed by a seated woman who had her child with her. She said: "O Messenger of Allah! An affliction has befallen this child, and we are facing a trial because of him. He has fits many times a day; I do not know how many times." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Hand him to me." The woman lifted the child and held him out to him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) placed him between himself and the middle of his saddle. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) opened his mouth and blew into his mouth three times, and then said: "With the name of Allah Almighty, seeking blessing; I am the servant of Allah. O enemy of Allah, be gone!" Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) handed that child to the woman and said: "Meet us at this same place on our return and tell us how he is." The narrator says: We departed from there. When we came back, we found that woman at the same place, and she had three goats with her. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "How is your child?" She said: "By the One who sent you with the truth, from then until now we have not noticed anything (of that) in him. Please accept these goats." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said (to me): "Dismount and take one goat from them and return the rest." The narrator narrates: Once I went out with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) towards an open plain, until, when we came near the place where people relieve themselves, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Look whether you see anything that can serve as a screen for me." I said: "I do not see anything that can serve as a screen for you, except that there is a tree which I think could be a cover for you." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "What is near it?" I replied: "It is a tree, and there is another tree like it (the narrator is unsure; perhaps the words are:) there is another tree near it." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Go to the two of them and say to them that the Messenger of Allah commands you both to come together by the permission of Allah." The narrator says: The two of them came together, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) relieved himself there. Then he came back and said: "Go to the two of them and say to them that the Messenger of Allah commands that each one of you return to its place." So they returned. The narrator narrates: Once I was sitting with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when a camel came and laid its neck down before the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), then tears began to flow from its eyes. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Find out whose camel this is; it seems to have some particular matter." I went out to look for the owner of the camel, and I found that he was a man from the Ansar. I called him and brought him to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "What is the matter with this camel of yours?" He asked: "What is the matter with it?" He said: "By Allah! I do not know what the matter with it is. We have kept using it for work and carrying water on it, until it was no longer able to carry water; so yesterday we decided that we would slaughter it and divide its meat." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do not do that! Give it to me as a gift, or sell it to me." He said: "O Messenger of Allah! It is yours." The narrator says: So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had the special mark of sadaqah placed on it and sent it off.
In a narration transmitted from Sayyiduna Ya'la (may Allah be pleased with him), the words are: He narrates: "I do not think that anyone has seen concerning the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) what I have seen; anyone else will have seen less." After this the narrator related something similar, except that he
related this: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to the owner of the camel: "What is the matter with your camel that it is complaining about you? It says that you kept carrying water on it until, now that this camel has grown old, you intend to slaughter it." He said: "By the One who sent you with the truth, you are right; I had intended exactly that, and by the One who sent you with the truth, I will not do it now."
In one narration the words are: Then we set off and camped at a place. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) fell asleep, and a tree came splitting through the ground and covered the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) with its shade, then it went back to its place. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) woke up, I mentioned this to him. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "That tree had asked its Lord for permission to greet the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) with salam, and the Lord gave it permission."
Ahmad recorded it with two chains, and al-Tabarani recorded something similar; the narrators of one of the two chains of Ahmad are the narrators of the Sahih.
Al-Tabarani recorded these words in one of his narrations: "A camel passed by the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) which had its neck lowered. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Bring its owner to me!' When he came, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'This one is saying: I was born among them, and these people kept using me for work, until, now that I have grown old, they have decided to slaughter me.' The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Everything present here knows that I am the Messenger of Allah, except the disbelievers (the narrator is unsure; perhaps the words are:) except the sinful among the jinn and humans.'"
Sayyiduna Ya'la bin Murrah (may Allah be pleased with him) relates from his father: A woman came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and with her was her child who suffered from madness. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O enemy of Allah! Get out; I am the Messenger of Allah." The narrator says: So that child became well. The narrator narrates: That woman gave the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) two rams as a gift, and gave a little ghee and a little cheese. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Take the cheese and the ghee! And take one of the two rams, and return the other to her."
Ahmad recorded it, and its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih.
With the same chain, it is transmitted from Sayyiduna Murrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he narrates: "I was travelling with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He camped at a place and said to me: 'Go to those two small trees and say to them: The Messenger of Allah commands you both to come together.' I came to those two trees and said this to them, and one of them moved towards the other, and the two of them came together. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) went and relieved himself behind the cover of the two of them. Then each of them (the trees) went back to its place."
Ahmad also recorded it.
Sayyiduna Ya'la bin Siyabah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I was travelling with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He intended to relieve himself, so he commanded two small date palms, and one of them joined the other. Then he commanded the two of them, and they both went back to the places where they grew. Likewise, a camel came and laid its neck on the ground; it began making sounds and weeping until the place around it became wet. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do you know what this camel is saying? It says that its owner intends to slaughter it." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent a message to its owner, called him and said: "Will you give this camel to me as a gift?" He said: "O Messenger of Allah! I have no property dearer to me than it." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then accept the advice to treat it well." He said: "This is a must, O Messenger of Allah, that I honour this property." (The narrator narrates:) Once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by a grave; he came to it, and the person in that grave was being punished. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "He is not being punished for something (apparently) major." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave an order regarding a branch, and it was placed on his grave, and he said: "It may be that, as long as this remains fresh, (until then) this person's punishment will be lightened."
Ahmad recorded it, and al-Tabarani recorded something similar, except that he recorded these words: "The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to two graves." The chain of this report is hasan (good).
Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) entered a garden. A camel came and went down in prostration before him. The people said: "We have more right to prostrate to you." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If I were to command anyone to prostrate to another, I would have commanded the woman to prostrate to her husband."
Al-Bazzar recorded it, and al-Tirmidhi recorded its last part; the chain of this report is hasan (good).
Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: We were coming back from a journey with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) until we reached one of the gardens of Banu al-Najjar. In it there was a camel, and whenever anyone entered that garden, the camel would attack him. The narrator says: The people mentioned this to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), so he came into that garden. He called the camel, and it came with its lips placed on the ground, and it came and knelt down before the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The narrator says: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Bring a halter!" Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) put the halter on it and handed it over to its owner. Then he turned to the people and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Everything between the heavens and the earth knows that I am the Messenger of Allah, except the disobedient among the jinn and humans."
Ahmad recorded it, and its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy), though there is weakness in some of its narrators.
Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: We set out with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on the Expedition of Dhat al-Riqa'. When we reached the stony ground of Waqim, a Bedouin woman came before us with her son. She came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "O Messenger of Allah! This is my son; Shaytan has overpowered him." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Bring him close to me." The woman brought him close to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Open his mouth." The woman opened his mouth, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) put his saliva into that boy's mouth. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O enemy of Allah! Be gone! I am the Messenger of Allah." He said this three times. Then he said: "O woman, take care of your son; now there is nothing on him, and the affliction that used to befall him before will not come back to him again." The narrator narrates: After that we camped at a place in the open desert where there was no tree. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him): "O Jabir! Go and find a place for us," meaning a place where one could relieve oneself. The narrator says: I went, and I did not find any such place; I saw only two trees which were far from each other, but if the two of them came together, they could serve as a screen. I came back to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "O Messenger of Allah! I have found two trees which are apart from each other; if the two of them were together, they could provide a screen for you." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Go to the two of them and say to them: The Messenger of Allah says to you that you both should come together!" I went out from there and said this to them, and the two of them came together, until they looked as if they had grown from one root. I came back again and told the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) went and relieved himself, then he came back and said: "Go to the two of them and say to them that the Messenger of Allah says to you both that you should both go back to your places!" So the two of them went back. The narrator says: We camped in one of the valleys of Banu Muharib. A man from Banu Muharib, whose name was Ghawrath bin al-Harith, came before him, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had his sword hanging from his shoulder. He said: "O Sayyiduna Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)! Show me this sword of yours." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) drew that sword and handed it to him. He brandished that sword and looked at it for a moment, then he came towards the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "O Sayyiduna Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)! Who will save you from me?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah Almighty will save me from you." Then his hand began to tremble, until the sword fell from his hand. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) took hold of that sword and said: "O Ghawrath! Who will save you from me?" He said: "May my father be sacrificed for you, there is no one." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Allah! Suffice us against Ghawrath and his people." The narrator narrates: Then, as we were coming back, a man from among the Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came carrying a bird's nest in which there were chicks, and their mother and father were following that man; the two of them (the birds) came and settled on that man's hand. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) turned to those who were with him and said: "Are you not amazed at the behaviour of these two birds towards their chicks? By the One who sent me with the truth, Allah Almighty is more merciful to His servants than these birds are merciful to their chicks." The narrator narrates: Then, when we were coming back and reached the stony ground of Waqim, the same Bedouin woman who had brought her son came before us. She had a waterskin of milk and a goat, which she presented to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) as a gift. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "How is your son? Has any of the affliction that used to befall him befallen him again?" The woman replied: "By the One who sent you with the truth, nothing of what used to befall him before has befallen him again." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) accepted the woman's gift. The narrator says: We were coming along, and when we reached the place of descent from al-Harrah, a camel came, hurrying along. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do you know what this camel is saying?" The people said: "Allah and His Messenger know best." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "This camel has come to me and is complaining to me against its master. It says that its master kept using it for tilling for several years (that is, kept using it to draw water), until, when it became mangy, weak and old, its master decided to slaughter it. O Jabir! Go to its owner and bring him." I said: "O Messenger of Allah! I do not know its owner." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "This camel will guide you." So that camel began walking quickly ahead of Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him), until it stopped at the gathering of Banu Khatmah. I said: "Where is the owner of this camel?" The people said: "This is the camel of so-and-so son of so-and-so." I went to him and said: "Come to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)!" That man came out with me until he came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "Your camel has complained against you. It says that you kept using it for tilling for a long time, until, when it became old and weak, you decided to slaughter it." The man said: "By the One who sent you with the truth, it is so." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Sell it to me!" He said: "Very well, O Messenger of Allah!" Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) bought that camel from him and then let it loose among the trees to graze, until its hump rose up; and whenever a water-carrying camel of any of the Muhajirun or the Ansar fell ill, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would give this camel to him, and it remained like this for a long time. Muhammad bin Talhah narrates: The Expedition of Dhat al-Riqa' is also called the Expedition of Wonders. (Allamah al-Haythami says:) I say: Part of this report is mentioned in the Sahih.
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat, and al-Bazzar recorded it in a greatly abridged form; its chain contains a narrator, Abd al-Hakim bin Sufyan, whom Ibn Abi Hatim mentioned, and no one has criticised him. The remaining narrators of this report are thiqat (trustworthy).
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that on a journey towards Makkah he was with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) went to relieve himself, he would go so far away that no one could see him. The narrator says: He saw two trees which were far from each other, and he said: "O Ibn Mas'ud! Go to these two trees and say to them that the Messenger of Allah commands you both to come together, so that he may be screened behind you." So one of the two came walking to the other. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) relieved himself, then both trees went back to their places. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) set off until we reached the streets of Madinah. A camel came running and went down in prostration before the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him); then it stood in front of him, and tears were flowing from its eyes. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Who is the owner of this camel?" The people said: "It is so-and-so." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Call him and bring him." He was brought, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "This one is complaining about you." He said: "O Messenger of Allah! We have been carrying water on this camel; we have been doing so for twenty years, and now we have decided to slaughter it." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "That is exactly what it has complained about. What an evil reward you are giving it! You kept using it for work for twenty years, until, when its bones became weak and its skin became weak, you decided to slaughter it. Sell it to me!" He said: "O Messenger of Allah! It is yours." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave an order concerning it, and it was sent off to the camels. The Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "O Messenger of Allah! This camel has prostrated to you, so we have more right to prostrate." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah forbid that anyone should prostrate to another. If anyone were to prostrate to another, I would command the woman to prostrate to her husband."
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat, and in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir he recorded a similar report in abridged form, except that he recorded these words: This was an incident of the Battle of Hunayn. And he recorded these additional words in it: "Then the people were afflicted with severe thirst, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: 'O Abdullah! Look for water for me.' I brought him the leftover water that I had found in a vessel. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) took it and poured it into a bowl, then he placed his blessed hand in it and said Bismillah (In the name of Allah), and water began to gush from between his fingers. The people drank as much as they wished and performed ablution."
Al-Bazzar recorded something similar. The chain of al-Mu'jam al-Awsat contains a narrator, Zam'ah bin Salih, who has been declared trustworthy despite his weakness; the hadith reported by the remaining narrators of this report is hasan (good). The chains of both routes of this report are da'if (weak).
Sayyidah Aishah Siddiqah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was among a group of the Muhajirun and the Ansar. Meanwhile a camel came and prostrated to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). His Companions said: "O Messenger of Allah! Animals and trees prostrate to you, so we have more right to prostrate to you." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Worship your Lord, and honour your brother." (Allamah al-Haythami says:) I say: After this he mentioned the full hadith.
Ahmad recorded it, and its chain is jayyid (good).
Sayyiduna Ya'la bin Umayyah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Once we were travelling with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Meanwhile a camel came before us. When it saw the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), it raised its head. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Ya'la! Go to the owners of this camel and buy this camel from them. If they do not sell it to you, then say that the Messenger of Allah urges you to treat it well." Those people said: "By Allah! We have been carrying water on it for twenty years, and tomorrow we had decided to slaughter it. But now that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) has urged us concerning it, we will not fall short in doing good to it."
Al-Tabarani recorded it, and its chain is hasan (good).
With the same chain, it is transmitted from Sayyiduna Ya'la (may Allah be pleased with him): "Once we were travelling with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and three small date palms came before us, which were apart from one another. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Go to these three trees and say to them: The Messenger of Allah instructs you to come together by the command of Allah.' So they came walking and became like a single root. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) screened himself with them to relieve himself. Then he said: 'O Ya'la, go to them and instruct them to go back by the command of Allah.' So they went walking, until each one of them went back to its own place."
Al-Tabarani recorded it.
Sayyiduna Buraydah narrates: A man came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "Show me a sign." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Go to that tree and call it to come." That man went to that tree and said: "The Messenger of Allah is calling you." The tree leaned at one time to one side and at another time to the other side, until it pulled up all its roots. Then it came and reached the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered it: "Go back!" That man stood up, kissed the head, hands and feet of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and accepted Islam.
Al-Bazzar recorded it; its chain contains a narrator, Salih bin Hibban, and he is da'if (weak).
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: A man from Banu Amir, who used to practise medicine and treatment, came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He said to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "O Sayyiduna Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)! You say certain things; would you like me to treat you?" The narrator says: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) called him and said to him: "Would you like me to treat you?" He said: "Go ahead." At that time there was a tree and a date palm there. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) called one tree among them, and it came towards him and prostrated, then it raised its head and prostrated again, then raised its head and prostrated, until, prostrating in this way, it reached him and came and stood in front of him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to it: "Go back to your place." It went back to its place. That man said: "By Allah! After this, whatever you say, I will never call you a liar regarding anything." Then that man said: "O Amir bin Sa'sa'ah! By Allah! After this, whatever this man says, I will never call him a liar regarding anything." The narrator says: 'Idhq means a date palm.
Abu Ya'la recorded it, and its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih, except for Ibrahim bin al-Hajjaj al-Shami, and he is thiqah (trustworthy).
Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was at the place of al-Hajun, and the polytheists did not accept what he said. So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed: "O Allah! Show me a sign today after which I will not care about anyone who denies me." Then (an angel) came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he was told: "Call a tree." (The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) called it,) and the tree came moving over the ground to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). It greeted the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) with salam. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered it, and it went back. Here the narrator named Dawud recorded the words: "It went back to the place where it grew," and Affan recorded the words: "It went back to its own place." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "After this, whoever of my people denies me, I will not care about him."
Al-Bazzar and Abu Ya'la recorded it, and the chain of Abu Ya'la is hasan (good).
Sayyiduna Zayd bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: One day in the morning we were going along with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) until we reached the place in Madinah where several roads meet. There we saw a Bedouin holding the halter of his camel. He came and stopped before the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), while we were around the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He said: "O Prophet! Peace be upon you, and the mercy of Allah Almighty and His blessings." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) returned his greeting. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "How are you?" The narrator narrates: Meanwhile the camel began to make sounds. Then a man came who looked like a guard. That guard said: "O Messenger of Allah! This Bedouin has stolen the camel." The narrator says: The camel kept making sounds and moaning for a while, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) listened attentively to its moaning and its sounds. When the camel calmed down, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) turned to the guard and said to him: "Leave him alone! For this camel has testified against you that you are lying." So the guard went away. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) turned to the Bedouin and said: "What did you say when you came to me?" The narrator says: He said: "I said: May my mother and father be sacrificed for you, O Allah, send down mercy upon Sayyiduna Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) until no mercy remains; O Allah, send down blessing upon Sayyiduna Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) until no blessing remains; O Allah, send down peace upon Sayyiduna Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) until no peace remains; O Allah, have mercy on Sayyiduna Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) until no mercy remains." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah Almighty revealed it to me while the camel was speaking of its excuse, and the angels had filled the horizon."
Al-Tabarani recorded it; its chain contains narrators whom I do not know.
Sayyiduna al-Hakam bin al-Harith al-Sulami (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent me on an errand. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by me while my she-camel had stopped and I was beating her. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Do not beat her! Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Hal!" (a call used to urge a camel on). So she rose from her place and began to move along with the other people.
Imam al-Tabarani recorded this narration, and its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy).
