Qutaybah narrated to us; Muhammad ibn Yazid ibn Khunays narrated to us; al-Hasan ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Ubaydullah ibn Abi Yazid said: Ibn Jurayj said to me: ‘‘Ubaydullah ibn Abi Yazid informed me, from Ibn ‘Abbas, that a man came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: “Messenger of Allah, last night while asleep I saw myself praying behind a tree. When I prostrated, the tree prostrated with me, and I heard it say: ‘O Allah, record for me a reward with You through it, remove a burden from me through it, store it up for me with You, and accept it from me as You accepted it from Your servant Dawud.’”’ Ibn Jurayj said to me: ‘Your grandfather said: Ibn ‘Abbas said: The Prophet recited a verse of prostration and then prostrated.’ Ibn ‘Abbas said: ‘I heard him saying the same words that the man had reported the tree saying.’ Abu ‘Isa said: ‘This is a gharib hadith; we know it only through this route.’ There is also a report on this subject from Abu Sa‘id.
