The Blessed Tree A #tree I’ve been wanting to visit and Alhumdullilah recently had the opportunity to be in its company. 🌳 🙏🏼💚 The land where this #blessedtree is planted is in the middle of nowhere. It’s dry and there’s no other living plants or creations around it. When we arrived to #Jordan we were blessed with continuous rain for two days. Next to the blessed tree (in this photo) is water collected from the rain. A sight you normally wouldn’t see. This tree was blessed to be touched by #RasulAllah (salal lahu alayhi wa salim) as a young boy as he rested under its shade. It is known that the branches bent to give his mubarak body shade when travelling with their trading caravan and his uncle Abu Talib to Syria. It was during this trip that the monk Bahira recognised the signs of prophethood and warned his uncle to protect him and send him back to Mecca. "The Prophet sitting under this tree and its reacting to the Prophet makes the tree the only living terrestrial witness to the Prophet, what we would call in Arabic a sahabi. (Companion)” ~ Prince Ghazi bin Muhammad, Amman, Jordan. . . 📸 @sadafsyedart #sadafsyed #sadafsyedart #theblessedtree #prophetmuhammad #sahaba #companion #ziyara #cmumrah #celebratemercy @celebrate_mercy #travel #umrah #photo #islamichistory #monkbahira #bahira #monk #rain @sacredfootsteps #islam https://www.instagram.com/p/BwZ_M9RAKo3/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=kg43olmdpoqz
