Jami at-Tirmidhi 3628 (Book 49, Hadith 24) #29286
Demonstrating Prophethood

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) demonstrated his prophethood to a Bedouin by calling a cluster of dates from a palm tree and it obeyed him.

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: "A Bedouin came to the Messenger of Allah and said: 'How shall I know that you are a Prophet?' He said: 'If I were to call this date cluster from this palm tree, would you bear witness that I am the Messenger of Allah?' So the Messenger of Allah called it and they started to fall from the tree, until they fell towards the Prophet , then he said: 'Go back,' and it went back. So the Bedouin accepted Islam".
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ، عَنْ أَبِي ظَبْيَانَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ جَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ بِمَ أَعْرِفُ أَنَّكَ نَبِيٌّ قَالَ ‏"‏ إِنْ دَعَوْتُ هَذَا الْعِذْقَ مِنْ هَذِهِ النَّخْلَةِ أَتَشْهَدُ أَنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَدَعَاهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ فَجَعَلَ يَنْزِلُ مِنَ النَّخْلَةِ حَتَّى سَقَطَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ثُمَّ قَالَ ‏"‏ ارْجِعْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَعَادَ فَأَسْلَمَ الأَعْرَابِيُّ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ صَحِيحٌ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad's demonstration of his prophethood to a Bedouin. The Bedouin asked the Prophet how he could know that he was truly a prophet and the Prophet responded by asking if he would believe if he called forth dates from a palm tree. The Prophet then called forth the dates and they fell towards him before returning back to their place on the tree when commanded. This miracle convinced the Bedouin who accepted Islam as result. This hadith teaches us that obedience is important in order for miracles to occur and that faith can be strengthened through witnessing such miracles. It also shows us how powerful faith can be in convincing people of truth even when faced with something seemingly impossible or supernatural.
