4163. Narrated Tāriq bin 'Abdur-Raḥmān: When I set out for Hajj, I passed by some people offering a Ṣalāt (prayer), I asked, "What is this mosque?" They said, "This is the tree where Allāh's Messenger ﷺ took the Bai'a Ar-Ridwān (pledge)." Then I went to Sa'īd bin Al-Musaiyab and informed him about it. Sa'īd said, "My father said that he was amongst those who had given the Bai'a (pledge) to Allāh's Messenger ﷺ beneath the tree. He (i.e., my father) said, 'When we set out the following year, we forgot the tree and were unable to recognize it.'" Then Sa'īd said, "The Companions of the Prophet ﷺ could not recognize it; nevertheless, you do recognize it; therefore you have a better knowledge."
