bed, plowing up the ground until it stood before him. The Prophet asked it to bear witness three times, and this it did, and thereafter returned to its place.
There is a lengthy transmission of Jabir, Abdullah's son in which he says they were near the edge of a dried-up water bed that had two trees, and the Messenger of Allah felt the need to relieve himself, however, there was nothing to screen him. So the Messenger of Allah went to one of the trees, and took hold of a branch and said, "Let me lead you by the permission of Allah", and gently proceeded to lead it like a haltered camel. He did the same with the other tree until the trees stood side by side, then he said to them, "By the permission of Allah, join together for me", and this they did.
In another version, Jabir said to the tree, "The Messenger of Allah requests you to join your companion so he can sit behind you." Whereupon the tree forged ahead, and joined its companion, and he sat between them. Jabir said, "I returned in haste and sat down, talking to myself, and when I turned around, I saw the Messenger of Allah coming. The trees parted from each other, and stood alone as they had done originally, and the Messenger of Allah stopped for a moment, and indicated right and left, as he moved his head."
Ya'la, Murra's son said, "I traveled with the Prophet to Mecca and I saw a wonder. We arrived at place and he said, 'Go to these two trees and tell them that the Messenger of Allah is telling you to join together', so this I did. Each tree uprooted itself to join the other and formed a barrier, so the Prophet went behind them and relieved himself. After, he returned he said, "Each one of you go back to its place.' So I told them to do so and each of them returned to its place."
Ya'la, Murra's son, also known as As-Siyyaba's son reports a miracle he witnessed and tells us that he saw either a palm tree or mimosa tree circle around them, then return to its place. The Messenger of Allah told those who were with him, "It asked permission to greet me."
