4028. It was narrated that Anas said: "One day, Jibril ﷺ, came to the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ when he was sitting in a sorrowful state with his face soaked with blood, because some of the people of Makkah had struck him. He said: 'What is the matter with you?' He said: 'These people did such and such to me.' He said: 'Would you
like me to show you a sign?' He said: 'Yes, show me.' He looked at a tree on the far side of the valley and said: 'Call that tree.' So he called it, and it came walking until it stood before him. He said: 'Tell it to go back.' So he told it, and it went back to its place. Then the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'That is sufficient for me.'" (Da'if)

Commentary
This incident occurred during the Makkah period. Anas ﷺ might have heard from any other older Companion of the Prophet ﷺ or the Prophet ﷺ, himself might have narrated it.
Walking of the tree on the order of the Prophet ﷺ, is a miracle. The purpose of this miracle was to show the great status and high rank of the Prophet ﷺ, but due to some great Divine wisdom he has to suffer the trials.
