Sign of the Day of Judgment: Trees and Stones Will Call Out
عن أبى هريرة رضى الله عنه قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم : لا تقوم الساعة حتى يقاتل المسلمون اليهود فيقتلهم المسلمون حتى يختبئ اليهودي من وراء الحجر أو الشجر فيقول الحجر أو الشجر يا مسلم يا عبد الله ! هذا يهودي خلفي فتعال فاقتله إلا الغرقد فإنه من شجر اليهود
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (RA) that the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: The Day of Judgment will not come until the Muslims fight the Jews and kill them, until if a Jew takes shelter behind a tree or a stone, that tree or stone will call out, "O Muslim! O servant of Allah! Come here, a Jew is hiding behind me, come and kill him." Except for the Gharqad tree (a thorny tree like the acacia), which will not call out because it is the tree of the Jews.

Benefits:
➊ The speaking of trees and stones like animals is also a sign of the Day of Judgment.
➋ This sign will appear when Muslims, accompanied by Hazrat Isa (Jesus) عليه السلام and Imam Mahdi, fight against the Dajjal and his (Jewish) army, and this will be the final battle.
➌ The manifestation of the power of speech in trees and stones is not beyond divine power. ان الله على كل شئ قدير
➍ The tree behind which the Jews will hide will speak and point them out, except for the tree called Gharqad, which will not speak.
➎ This prophecy will manifest like the break of dawn, and one should believe in it without any doubt.
➏ The Jews are so afraid of this prophecy that they are extensively planting the Gharqad tree in the Israeli state.
