It is narrated that one day,
Abu Talib was in the company of some people from Quraish to introduce the lofty
position of his nephew to others, he said:
“Nephew, has Almighty Allah sent you
as a prophet?” “Yes,” replied the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.). He said: “Prophets
were having miracles. You also show us a miracle.”
The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.)
said: “Go and tell that tree that Muhammad bin Abdullah says: O tree, Muhammad
is saying: Come to us.” So, Abu Talib went and said that. The tree arrived and
humbled itself before the Prophet. Then His Eminence ordered: “O tree, go back
to your place.” They saw it return.
Abu Talib said: “I testify
for your truthfulness.” And said: “O Ali, remain in the service of your
cousin.”
