Obedience of Tree to the order of Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.)

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.”

So I went to Asfan and thus passing each stage in turn, reached Mecca. I stayed there for some days and was engrossed in Tawaf and other devotions. One night, when I was doing the Tawaf, I noticed an extremely handsome and fragrant young man walking about and doing the Tawaf of the Kaaba. Some feelings arose in my heart; I moved towards him and touched him. He asked: Where do you belong to? I said: Iraq. He asked: Where in Iraq? I said: ...
