What The Palm Tree Said


Abul Faraj Mohammad bin Muzaffar bin Ahmad bin Saeed Al-Daqaaq narrated from Ahmad bin Mohammad, from Mohammad bin Mansour, from Uthman bin Abi Shiba, from Jurrair, from Mohammad bin Yassar, from Faz’l bin Harun, from Abi Harun Al-Abdi, from Abi Bakr Abdullah bin Uthman, who said: 

We were with the Prophet in Aamer bin Saad’s garden. As we were walking in the garden, we heard a palm tree shout to another palm tree. Then the Prophet asked, “Do you know what the palm tree said?” We replied, “Allah and His Messenger know better.” 

The Prophet said, “The palm tree shouted ‘This is Mohammad, the Messenger of Allah, and his heir, Ali bin Abi Taleb.” So the Prophet named the palm tree “Al-Nakhlah Al-Sayhani” (the shouting palm tree).
