حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ ثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الصَّغَانِيُّ ثَنَا أَبُو الْجَوَّابِ ثَنَا عَبْدُ الْجَبَّارِ بْنُ الْعَبَّاسِ الشَّيْبَانِيُّ عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ كُهَيْلٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ
كَانَ سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ عَلَيْهِمَا الصَّلَاةُ وَالسَّلَامُ إِذَا صَلَّى الصَّلَاةَ طَلَعَتْ بَيْنَ عَيْنَيْهِ شَجَرَةٌ فَيَقُولُ لَهَا مَا أَنْتِ وَلِأَيِّ شَيْءٍ طَلَعْتِ؟ فَتَقُولُ أَنَا شَجَرَةُ كَذَا وَكَذَا طَلَعْتُ لِدَاءِ كَذَا وَكَذَا فَلَمَّا صَلَّى ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ الْغَدَاةَ طَلَعَتْ بَيْنَ عَيْنَيْهِ شَجَرَةٌ فَقَالَ لَهَا مَا أَنْتِ وَلِأَيِّ شَيْءٍ طَلَعْتِ؟ قَالَتْ أَنَا الْخَرْنُوبُ طَلَعْتُ لِخَرَابِ هَذَا الْمَسْجِدِ فَعَلِمَ سُلَيْمَانُ عَلَيْهِ الصَّلَاةُ وَالسَّلَامُ أَنَّ أَجَلَهُ قَدِ اقْتَرَبَ وَأَنَّ بَيْتَ الْمَقْدِسِ لَا يُخَرَّبُ وَهُوَ حَيٌّ فَدَعَا اللَّهَ تَعَالَى أَنْ يُغْمِيَ عَلَى الشَّيْطَانِ مَوْتَهُ وَكَانَتِ الْجِنُّ تَزْعُمُ أَنَّ الشَّيَاطِينَ يَعْلَمُونَ الْغَيْبَ فَمَاتَ عَلَى عَصَاهُ فَأَكَلَتْهَا الْأَرَضَةُ فَسَقَطَ فَحَقَّ عَلَى الشَّيَاطِينِ أَنْ تَأْتِيَ الْأَرَضَةَ بِالْمَاءِ حَيْثُ كَانَتْ تُثْنِي عَلَيْهَا شُكْرًا بِمَا صَنَعَتْ بِعَصَا سُلَيْمَانَ

✧ When Sulayman son of Dawud (peace and blessings be upon them) prayed a prayer, a tree would appear between his eyes. He would say to it: What are you, and for what thing have you appeared? It would say: I am the tree of such-and-such; I appeared for the disease of such-and-such. So when he prayed the morning prayer one day, a tree appeared between his eyes, and he said to it: What are you, and for what thing have you appeared? It said: I am al-Kharrub; I appeared for the ruin of this mosque. So Sulayman (peace and blessings be upon him) knew that his term had drawn near and that the Bayt al-Maqdis would not be ruined while he was alive. He called upon Allah, the Exalted, to cause the devil to faint regarding his death. The jinn used to claim that the devils knew the unseen. So he died upon his staff, and termites ate it, and he fell. Thus it became due upon the devils to bring water to the termites wherever they were, praising them in gratitude for what they did to Sulayman's staff.
