حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ النَّضِرِ الْأَزْدِيُّ قَالَ: نَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْأَصْبَهَانِيُّ قَالَ: نَا شَرِيكٌ، عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِي ظِبْيَانَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ:
جَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ، فَقَالَ: بِمَ أَعْرِفُ أَنَّكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ؟ قَالَ: أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ دَعَوْتُ هَذَا الْعِذْقَ مِنْ هَذِهِ النَّخْلَةِ أَتَشْهَدُ أَنِّي رَسُولُ اللهِ ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ، فَدَعَا الْعِذْقَ فَجَعَلَ يَنْزِلُ مِنَ النَّخْلَةِ حَتَّى سَقَطَ فِي الْأَرْضِ، فَجَعَلَ يَنْقُزُ حَتَّى أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ، فَقَالَ لَهُ: " ارْجِعْ " فَرَجَعَ، ثُمَّ عَادَ إِلَى مَكَانِهِ، فَقَالَ: أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ، وَأَنَّكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ

✧ A bedouin came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: "How may I know that you are the Messenger of Allah?" He said: "Do you think that if I call this cluster from this date-palm, you will testify that I am the Messenger of Allah?" He said: "Yes." So he called the cluster, and it began to descend from the palm-tree until it fell to the ground, and then it began to leap until it came to the Prophet ﷺ. He said to it: "Return," and it returned, then went back to its place. The bedouin said: "I bear witness that there is no god but Allah and that you are the Messenger of Allah."
