3424. Al-Ḥasan bin Muḥammad bin 'Ubaidullāh bin Abī Yazīd said: "Ibn Juraij said to me: "Ubaidullāh bin Abī Yazīd informed me that Ibn 'Abbās said: "A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: 'O Messenger of Allāh! I had a dream at night while I was sleeping, in which I was praying behind a tree, when I prostrated, the tree prostrated along with me. Then I heard it saying: "O Allāh! Record for me, a reward with You for it, remove a sin from me by it, and store it away for me with You for it, and accept it from me as You accepted it from Your worshipper Dāwud (Allāhumma Aktub Lī Bihā 'Indaka Ajran, Waḍa' 'Annī Bihā Wizran, Wāj'alhā Lī 'Indaka Dhukhran, Wa Taqabbalhā Minī Kamā Taqabbaltahā Min 'Abdiki Dāwud)." Al-Ḥasan said: "Ibn Juraij said to me: 'Your grandfather said to me: "Ibn 'Abbās said: 'So the Prophet ﷺ recited (an Āyah of) prostration then prostrated.'" [He said] "So Ibn 'Abbās said: 'I listened to him, and he was saying the same as the man informed that the tree had said.'" [Hasan]

Commentary
This narration proves that trees too have the concept, understanding and feeling of their Creator and they pray to Him in their own way.
