The Prophet ﷺ used to deliver his sermons leaning against the trunk of a dried date-palm tree. But one day, a pulpit was built — and he moved away from the tree.
And then it happened.
The companions heard a sound in the masjid…
A crying, a wailing, a sound so human-like — it was that very tree trunk crying out in grief over being separated from the Prophet ﷺ.
What did the Prophet ﷺ do?
He stepped down… walked to it… and placed his blessed hand on it — and it stopped crying.
He ﷺ said, “It is crying because it misses the remembrance of Allah and the company of the Prophet of Allah.”
SubhanAllah.
A dead, dry tree missed the Prophet ﷺ more than many of us alive today.
The Prophet ﷺ said:
“I know a stone in Makkah that would give me salaam before Prophethood.”
Imagine that! A stone recognising the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and saying “As-salāmu ‘alayka Yā RasūlAllah!”
How often do we say it?
A Camel Complained]
One day, a camel was seen behaving wildly, charging around.
The Prophet ﷺ went to it — approached it calmly, and placed his hand on it. The camel wept, calmed down, and rested its head at his feet.
And then he ﷺ said, “This camel is complaining that its owner overburdens it and doesn’t feed it properly.”
Even the animals knew he was Raḥmatullil-‘Ālamīn — a mercy to all the worlds.
Poisoned Meat Spoke
At Khaybar, the Prophet ﷺ was given meat laced with poison.
Just as he was about to eat it — the meat spoke!
“Do not eat me, O Messenger of Allah! I have been poisoned.”
Think about that.
Meat that had been slaughtered, cooked, roasted, still recognised the Prophet ﷺ… and it spoke to protect him.
SECTION 5 – Even the Mountains Rejoiced
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.When the Prophet ﷺ stood on Mount Thabir with Abu Bakr and Umar رضي الله عنهما, the mountain began to shake with joy.
The Prophet ﷺ calmed it and said:
“Be still, O Thabir. For upon you stands a Prophet, a Siddīq, and a martyr.”
Even rocks danced out of love.
And we struggle to even wake up for Fajr.
My brothers and sisters…
If trees cried for him…
If stones gave him salaam…
If meat warned him…
If mountains shook with happiness…
Then what excuse do we have?
How distant have our hearts become from the one who cried for us at night…
The one who will plead for us on the Day of Judgement…
The one who said, “My Ummah… My Ummah…”
Here’s what we need to do:
- Say Salawāt upon the Prophet ﷺ every day. اللهم صل على محمد وعلى آل محمد
- Study his Seerah — connect with his life.
- Follow his Sunnah — in speech, dress, mercy, and manners.
- Raise our children to love him ﷺ more than TikTok stars and influencers.
