Miracle 24: Trees, Mud and Soil Reply to Imam Ali (a.s.)

Hazrat Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (a.s.) said: ‘Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) called me and asked me to go to Yemen to reconcile a dispute amongst them. I said to him (s.a.w.a.): ‘O Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.)! They are many, and I am a young man’. He (s.a.w.a.) said to me: ‘O Ali (a.s.)! When you come to the top of mount Feyq, then call out at the top of your voice: ‘O tree! O mud! O soil! Mohammed (s.a.w.a.), the Messenger of Allah conveys the greetings to you all!’

He (a.s.) said: ‘So, I went. When I came to the top of mount Feyq, I overlooked Yemen, they were coming with their families towards me, led by their elders and their priests, baring their weapons. I called out at the top of my voice: ‘O tree! O mud! O soil! Mohammed (s.a.w.a.) conveys the greetings to you all!’

He (a.s.) said: ‘There did not remain any tree, nor mud, nor soil except it trembled with one voice: ‘And upon Muhammad (s.a.w.a), the Messenger of Allah, be the greetings!’ The legs of the people shook, and their knees knocked, and the weapons fell down from their hands, and they came quickly and I reconciled between them and left’’.¹
