Sign which was shown to him by Jibreel (Gabriel):
Imâm Ahmad narrated on the authority of Anas Ibn Mâlik who said: “Jibreel came to the Messenger of Allâh one day, when he was sitting on his own feeling sad and bleeding after being hit by some of the people of Makkah. Jibreel asked him: “What iswrong with you?” He said: “Those people did so and so to me”. Jibreel then said to him: “Would you like me to show you a sign (from Allâh)?” The Prophet said to him: “Yes”. Jibreel said to him: “Look at one of the trees down at the other end of that valley”. And then he said: “Call it”. The Messenger of Allâh did, and so the tree came walking and stood before him. Jibreel then said to him: “Command the tree to go back”. Thereupon the Prophet commanded it and it went back to its place. The Messenger of Allâh then said: “That is sufficient for me ”
The Messenger of Allâh calls a palm tree which responds to his call:
Imâm Ahmad narrated on the authority of Ibn ‘Abbâs who said: “A man from Banî ‘Âmir came to the Prophet and said: “O Messenger of Allâh! Show me (the seal) which is between your two shoulders, I am one of the most knowledgeable people in medicine”. The Messenger of Allâh, then said to him: “Shall I show you a sign?” The man said: “Yes”. The Messenger of Allâh then looked at a palm tree and said to the man: “Call that bunch of dates (on the palm tree)”. So, the man did and the bunch of dates came jumping between his hands. The Messenger of Allâh then said to it: “Go back”and so it went back to its place. The man then said: “O Banî_’Âmer (tribe of ‘Âmer) I have never in my life come across a magician who is more skilful in magic than that man”.³7 In another narration by Imâm al-Baihaqî, Ibn ‘Abbâs said: “The man then said: “O Banî ‘Amer! By Allâh I will never belie him in anything he says”. And in another narration reported also by Imâm al-Baihaqî, Ibn ‘Abbâs said: “The bunch of dates came down the palm tree until it fell on the ground, and kept on jumping until it came between the hands of the Prophet. When the Messenger of Allâh ordered it to go back, it then went back to its place on the palm tree. The mur then said: “I testify that you are the Messenger of Allâh”, and he embraced Islâm “.
