Sunan Ibn Majah 339 (Book 1, Hadith 73) #29691
The Prophet's Respectful Request

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) asked two date-palm trees to come together so he could use them for privacy while relieving himself, and then asked them to go back to their places.

It was narrated from Ya'la bin Murrah that his father said: "I was with the Prophet on a journey, and he wanted to relieve himself. He said to me: 'Go to those two small date-palm trees and tell them: "The Messenger of Allah orders you to come together'." So they came together and he concealed himself behind them, and relieved himself. Then he said to me: 'Go to them and tell them: "Go back, each one of you, to your places'." So I said that to them and they went back".
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنِ الْمِنْهَالِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ يَعْلَى بْنِ مُرَّةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ كُنْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ـ ـ فِي سَفَرٍ فَأَرَادَ أَنْ يَقْضِيَ حَاجَتَهُ فَقَالَ لِي ‏"‏ ائْتِ تِلْكَ الأَشَاءَتَيْنِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ - قَالَ وَكِيعٌ يَعْنِي النَّخْلَ الصِّغَارَ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْقِصَارَ - ‏"‏ فَقُلْ لَهُمَا إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ ـ يَأْمُرُكُمَا أَنْ تَجْتَمِعَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَاجْتَمَعَتَا فَاسْتَتَرَ بِهِمَا فَقَضَى حَاجَتَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي ‏"‏ ائْتِهِمَا فَقُلْ لَهُمَا لِتَرْجِعْ كُلُّ وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْكُمَا إِلَى مَكَانِهَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَقُلْتُ لَهُمَا فَرَجَعَتَا
