قَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو هِشَامٍ الرِّفَاعِيُّ، ثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلٍ، ثَنَا أَبُو حَيَّانَ التَّيْمِيُّ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ ابْنِ أَبِي رَبَاحٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ - ؓ قَالَ:

كُنْتُ جَالِسًا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ، فَأَتَاهُ أَعْرَابِيٌّ، فَقَالَ: هَلْ لَكَ فِي خَيْرٍ ؟ تَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ، وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللهِ ؟ قَالَ: وَمَنْ يَشْهَدُ لَكَ ؟ قَالَ ﷺ: هَذِهِ الشَّجَرَةُ، فَدَعَاهَا وَهِيَ عَلَى شَاطِئِ الْوَادِي، فَجَاءَتْ تَجِدُّ السَّيْرَ حَتَّى قَامَتْ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ ﷺ، فَاسْتَشْهَدَهَا، فَشَهِدَتْ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ، ثُمَّ رَجَعَتْ إِلَى مَكَانِهَا، فَقَالَ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ: آتِي قَوْمِي، فَإِنْ تَابَعُونِي أَتَيْتُكَ بِهِمْ، وَإِلَّا رَجَعْتُ إِلَيْكَ، فَأَكُونُ مَعَكَ

✧ I was sitting with the Prophet ﷺ when a bedouin came to him and said, ‘Will you accept a good thing? That you testify that there is no god but God and that Muhammad is the Messenger of God?’ He said, ‘Who will testify for you?’ The Prophet ﷺ said, ‘This tree.’ So he called it while it was on the bank of the valley, and it came cutting through the ground until it stood before him ﷺ. He asked it to testify, and it testified three times, then returned to its place. The bedouin said, ‘I will go to my people. If they follow me, I will bring them to you; otherwise I will return to you and stay with you.’”
