2998. It was narrated from Muhammad bin 'Imrân Al-Anṣârî that his father said: "Abdullâh bin 'Umar came to me when I had stopped beneath a large tree on the way to Makkah. He said: 'Why did you stop beneath this tree?' I said: 'Because of its shade.' 'Abdullâh said: 'The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: If you are between the two mountains of Mina – and he pointed with his hand toward the east – there is a valley there called As-Surabah according to the narration of Al-Hârith: Called As-Surar – in which there is a large tree beneath which seventy prophets were born.'"[1] (Da'if)

Commentary
We learn that Mina is also a blessed site, which has remained the repose of the prophets, their halting place. This, however, does not mean that one should try and discover a tree and offer prayer beneath it in order to turn it into a place of retreat for multitudes.
