2326. Narrated 'Abdullāh رضي الله عنه: The Prophet ﷺ got the date-palm trees of the tribe of Bani An-Naḏir burnt and the trees cut down at a place called Al-Buwaira. Hassān bin Thābit said in a poetic verse: =the shepherd to inform the people (about his story) and he informed them. Then Allāh's Messenger said: "He (the shepherd) has spoken the truth. By Him (Allāh) in Whose Hands my soul is, the Day of Resurrection will not be established till beasts of prey (سباع) speak to the human beings, and the stick lash and the shoe-laces of a person speak to him and his thigh informs him about his family as to what happened to them after him [(Musnad Imām Ahmad, Vol. 3, in the Musnad of Abū Sa'īd Al-Khudrī). (See H. 3663). (1) (Ch. 6) The date-palm trees referred here to are those of the mosque of the Prophet ﷺ which were cut down during its construction. "The chiefs of Bani Lu'ai found it easy to watch fire spreading at Al-Buwaitra."(1)
