Jami at-Tirmidhi 3424 (Book 48, Hadith 55) #29073
Prostration of Trees

SUMMARY: A man had a dream in which he was praying behind a tree and the tree prostrated along with him. The Prophet recited an ayah of prostration and then prostrated himself.

Al-Hasan bin Muhammad bin Ubaidullah bin Abi Yazid said: "Ibn Juraij said to me: "Ubaidullah bin Abi Yazid informed me that Ibn Abbas said: "A man came to the Prophet and said: 'O Messenger of Allah! I had a dream at night while I was sleeping, in which I was praying behind a tree, when I prostrated, the tree prostrated along with me. Then I heard it saying: "O Allah! Record for me a reward with You for it, remove a sin from me by it, and store it away for me with You for it, and accept it from me as You accepted it from Your worshipper Dawud (Allahumma uktub li biha 'indaka ajran, waḍa' 'anni biha wizran, waj'alha li 'indaka dhukhran, wa taqabbalha minni kama taqabbalta min 'abdika Dawud)". Al-Hasan said: "Ibn Juraij said to me: 'Your grandfather said to me: "Ibn Abbas said: 'So the Prophet recited (an Ayah of) prostration, then prostrated.’" He said "So Ibn Abbas said: 'I listened to him, and he was saying the same as the man informed that the tree had said.’"
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ بْنِ خُنَيْسٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي يَزِيدَ، قَالَ قَالَ لِي ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ أَخْبَرَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي يَزِيدَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ رَأَيْتُنِي اللَّيْلَةَ وَأَنَا نَائِمٌ كَأَنِّي أُصَلِّي خَلْفَ شَجَرَةٍ فَسَجَدَتِ الشَّجَرَةُ لِسُجُودِي وَسَمِعْتُهَا وَهِيَ تَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ اكْتُبْ لِي بِهَا عِنْدَكَ أَجْرًا وَضَعْ عَنِّي بِهَا وِزْرًا وَاجْعَلْهَا لِي عِنْدَكَ ذُخْرًا وَتَقَبَّلْهَا مِنِّي كَمَا تَقَبَّلْتَهَا مِنْ عَبْدِكَ دَاوُدَ ‏.‏ قَالَ ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ قَالَ لِي جَدُّكَ قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ فَقَرَأَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ سَجْدَةً ثُمَّ سَجَدَ ‏.‏ قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ فَسَمِعْتُهُ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ مِثْلَ مَا أَخْبَرَ الرَّجُلُ عَنْ قَوْلِ الشَّجَرَةِ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ لاَ نَعْرِفُهُ إِلاَّ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ

QUICK LESSONS:
Show humility before God at all times .

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about a man who had a dream in which he was praying behind a tree and the tree prostrated along with him. He asked Allah to record for him reward for it, remove his sins by it, store away something good for him with Allah because of it and accept it from him as He accepted from His worshipper Dawud. When the Prophet heard this he recited an ayah of prostration and then prostrated himself. This hadith teaches us that we should be humble before Allah even if we are not able to physically perform acts like prostration or prayer due to physical limitations or any other reason; our hearts should be filled with humility towards Him at all times. It also teaches us that even trees can show humility towards Allah if they are blessed enough by Him; so we should never underestimate anyone's potential to show humility towards Him no matter how small or insignificant they may seem in our eyes.
