Sunan Ibn Majah 4028 (Book 36, Hadith 103) #33383
Signs of Divine Power

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was comforted by Jibril (AS) when he was in a sorrowful state due to being struck by the people of Makkah. Jibril (AS) then showed him a sign of his power by calling a tree from the far side of the valley and it came walking until it stood before him.

It was narrated that Anas said: "One day, Jibril (as) came to the Messenger of Allah when he was sitting in a sorrowful state with his face soaked with blood, because some of the people of Makkah had struck him. He said: 'What is the matter with you?’ He said: 'These people did such and such to me.’ He said: 'Would you like me to show you a sign?’ He said: 'Yes, show me.’ He looked at a tree on the far side of the valley and said: 'Call that tree.’ So he called it, and it came walking until it stood before him. He said: 'Tell it to go back.’ So he told it, and it went back to its place. Then the Messenger of Allah said: 'That is sufficient for me.’"
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ طَرِيفٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ جَاءَ جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ ـ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ حَزِينٌ قَدْ خُضِبَ بِالدِّمَاءِ قَدْ ضَرَبَهُ بَعْضُ أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ فَقَالَ مَا لَكَ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ فَعَلَ بِي هَؤُلاَءِ وَفَعَلُوا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَتُحِبُّ أَنْ أُرِيَكَ آيَةً قَالَ ‏"‏ نَعَمْ أَرِنِي ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَنَظَرَ إِلَى شَجَرَةٍ مِنْ وَرَاءِ الْوَادِي فَقَالَ ادْعُ تِلْكَ الشَّجَرَةَ ‏.‏ فَدَعَاهَا فَجَاءَتْ تَمْشِي حَتَّى قَامَتْ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ قَالَ قُلْ لَهَا فَلْتَرْجِعْ فَقَالَ لَهَا فَرَجَعَتْ حَتَّى عَادَتْ إِلَى مَكَانِهَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ ـ ‏"‏ حَسْبِي

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about how the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was comforted in his time of sorrow and distress. He had been struck by some people from Makkah and was feeling downcast when Jibril came to him. To show him that Allah has power over all things, Jibril called a tree from across the valley and it came walking until it stood before them. This sign showed that Allah has control over all things even those which seem impossible or out of reach for humans. It also shows us that we should always turn to Allah in times of difficulty as He will provide us with solace and strength no matter what our situation may be.
