Show kindness towards all living things even those which are nonliving like trees ; Respect nature ; Be gentle ; Have patience ; Show mercy etc .

This hadith tells us about an incident involving the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and a tree trunk. It is narrated that Jabir bin 'Abdullah said that when the Prophet ﷺ used to give sermons in the mosque, he would stand by a tree trunk which made a grieving sound. When he came near it, he would rub it gently and this action calmed down the tree trunk. Some people said that if he had not come to do this, then the tree trunk would have kept on making its grieving sound until Judgment Day. This incident teaches us several values such as kindness towards all living things even those which are nonliving like trees; respect for nature; gentleness; patience; mercy etc. It also shows us how much love and respect people had for their beloved Prophet ﷺ as they believed that his presence alone was enough to calm down something like a tree trunk!
