ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ : جَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ : بِمَ أَعْرِفُ أَنَّكَ نَبِيٌّ ؟ قَالَ : " إِنْ دَعَوْتُ هَذَا الْعِذْقَ مِنْ هَذِهِ النَّخْلَةِ أَتَشْهَدُ أَنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ؟ فَدَعَاهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَجَعَلَ يَنْزِلُ مِنَ النَّخْلَةِ حَتَّى سَقَطَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ثُمَّ قَالَ : " ارْجِعْ " , فَعَادَ فَأَسْلَمَ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : هَذَا حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ صَحِيحٌ .
´Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:` "A Bedouin came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and said: 'How shall I know that you are a Prophet?' He said: 'If I were to call this date cluster from this palm tree, would you bear witness that I am the Messenger of Allah?' So the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) called it and they started to fall from the tree, until they fell towards the Prophet (ﷺ), then he said: 'Go back,' and it went back. So the Bedouin accepted Islam."

Commentary:
Note:
(However, the phrase (fa-aslama al-a‘rabi) is not established.
In the chain, "Muhammad ibn Isma‘il" refers to Imam Bukhari.
And "Muhammad ibn Sa‘id ibn Sulayman al-Kufi Abu Ja‘far" is trustworthy (thiqah).
But "Sharik ibn ‘Abdullah al-Qadi" is weak (da‘if).
Based on supporting evidences (shawahid), the hadith is authentic (sahih).
The sentence "fa-aslama al-a‘rabi," meaning "the Bedouin became Muslim,"
is weak due to the absence of a supporting narration (shahid).
