339. It was narrated from Ya'la bin Murrah that his father said: "I was with the Prophet ﷺ on a journey, and he wanted to relieve himself. He said to me: 'Go to those two small date-palm trees and tell them: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ orders you to come together."'" So they came together and he concealed himself behind them, and relieved himself. Then
he said to me: 'Go to them and tell them: "Go back, each one of you, to your places.'" So I said that to them and they went back."(Hasan)

Commentary
It is one of the miracles of the Prophet ﷺ that, for his sake, Allâh moved the trees from their places, then made them go back where they were before. It is also noteworthy that the Messenger of Allâh did not address the trees himself directly, but the message was conveyed through a Companion, and the trees obeyed him. This is a supernatural happening (a sort of miracle or Karâmah) performed by a Companion.
