Prophets(Peace be upon him) miracle, the crying of date palm

Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah:

The Prophet (Peace be upon him)used to stand by a tree or a date-palm on Friday. Then an Ansari woman or man said. "O Allah's Apostle! Shall we make a pulpit for you?" He (Peace be upon him)replied, "If you wish." So they made a pulpit for him and when it was Friday, he proceeded towards the pulpit (for delivering the sermon). The date-palm cried like a child! The Prophet(Peace be upon him) descended (the pulpit) and embraced it while it continued moaning like a child being quietened. The Prophet(Peace be upon him) said, "It was crying for (missing) what it used to hear of religious knowledge given near to it."

Bukhari :Book 4 : Volume 56 : Hadith 784
