Sirat Ibn Hisham 263
The stones and trees greeting him ﷺ
[ تَسْلِيمُ الْحِجَارَةِ وَالشَّجَرِ عَلَيْهِ ﷺ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: وَحَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ بْنِ الْعَلَاءِ بْنِ جَارِيَةَ الثَّقَفِيُّ، وَكَانَ وَاعِيَةً، عَنْ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ: أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ حِينَ أَرَادَهُ اللَّهُ بِكَرَامَتِهِ، وَابْتَدَأَهُ بِالنُّبُوَّةِ، كَانَ إذَا خَرَجَ لِحَاجَتِهِ أَبْعَدَ حَتَّى تَحَسَّرَ عَنْهُ الْبُيُوتُ وَيُفْضِي إلَى شِعَابِ مَكَّةَ وَبُطُونِ أَوْدِيَتِهَا، فَلَا يَمُرُّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِحَجَرٍ وَلَا شَجَرٍ إلَّا قَالَ: السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ. قَالَ: فَيَلْتَفِتُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَوْلَهُ وَعَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَشِمَالِهِ وَخَلْفِهِ، فَلَا يَرَى إلَّا الشَّجَرَ وَالْحِجَارَةَ. فَمَكَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَذَلِكَ يَرَى وَيَسْمَعُ، مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يَمْكُثَ، ثُمَّ جَاءَهُ جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ بِمَا جَاءَهُ مِنْ كَرَامَةِ اللَّهِ، وَهُوَ بِحِرَاءٍ فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ
Translation
✧ [The greeting of the stones and trees to him ﷺ] Ibn Isḥāq said: ʿAbd al-Malik b. ʿUbayd Allāh b. Abī Sufyān b. al-ʿAlāʾ b. Jāriyah al-Thaqafī, who was a retentive memorizer, related to me from the people of knowledge: that the Messenger of God ﷺ, when God willed to honor him and initiated him with prophethood, would go out to relieve himself and go far until the houses were out of sight, and he would come to the mountain passes of Makkah and the bottoms of its valleys. The Messenger of God ﷺ would not pass by any stone or tree but that it said: Peace be upon you, O Messenger of God. He said: So the Messenger of God ﷺ would turn around, to his right, to his left, and behind him, and see nothing but trees and stones. The Messenger of God ﷺ remained thus, seeing and hearing, as long as God willed him to remain. Then Gabriel ﷺ came to him with what he brought of God's honor, while he was at Ḥirāʾ in the month of Ramaḍān.
