وَقَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْحَجَّاجِ، ثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ - ؓ قَالَ:
إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ بِالْحَجُونِ، وَهُوَ كَئِيبٌ حَزِينٌ، فَقَالَ: اللَّهُمَّ أَرِنِي الْيَوْمَ آيَةً، لَا أُبَالِي مَنْ كَذَّبَنِي بَعْدَهَا مِنْ قَوْمِي، فَقِيلَ لَهُ: نَادِ شَجَرَةً، فَنَادَى ﷺ شَجَرَةً مِنْ قِبَلِ عَقَبَةِ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ، فَجَاءَتْ تَشُقُّ الْأَرْضَ حَتَّى انْتَهَتْ إِلَيْهِ، فَسَلَّمَتْ عَلَيْهِ، ثُمَّ أَمَرَهَا فَذَهَبَتْ، قَالَ: فَقَالَ ﷺ: مَا أُبَالِي مَنْ كَذَّبَنِي بَعْدَهَا مِنْ قَوْمِي

✧ The Messenger of God ﷺ was at al-Hajun, sad and grieved. He said, ‘O God, show me a sign today; after it I will not care who denies me from my people.’ It was said to him, ‘Call a tree.’ He ﷺ called a tree from the direction of the mountain pass of the people of Madinah, and it came splitting the earth until it reached him, greeted him, then he commanded it and it went back. He said, ‘I do not care who denies me after this from my people.’”
