In Medina, Jabir, Samura's son reported the saying of the Prophet . "I know a stone in Mecca that used to greet me."

One day, as the Prophet accompanied by Abu Bakr, Omar and Othman were climbing the mountain of Uhud it started to shake. Anas tells us the Prophet said to it, "Uhud be stable, a Prophet, a man whose status is that of sincerity and two martyrs are on you."

Abu Hurayrah tells of a similar incident which occurred on Mount Hira, but this time those who were with the Prophet were Ali, Talha and As-Zubair, and the Prophet spoke to it saying, "There is only a Prophet, or a man whose status is that of sincerity, or a martyr on you."

Othman tells that there were ten Companions with the Prophet and that he was one of them, and added Abdur Rahman and Saad to the names. Sa'id, Zayd's son reported something similar, he too mentioned that there were ten and included himself.

Whenever he pointed at the face of an idol, it fell on its back and when he pointed to its back, it fell on its face and so it continued until not one single idol remained standing." Bukhari.

Masood's son said something similar adding, "When the Prophet began to destroy them, he recited the verse, "Truth has come. Falsehood has vanished and shall return no more" (34:49).

When the Prophet was a young boy traveling with his uncle and others of the Koraysh to trade, a hermit monk who never left his home for anyone, came out to see him. Upon seeing the young boy he took hold of his hand and declared, "This is the master of the worlds. Allah will send him as a mercy to the worlds." The Korayshi merchants asked how he knew this and the monk replied he had not seen even one stone or a single tree that
