It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whenever Sayyiduna Sulayman bin Dawud (peace be upon him) stood (for worship) in Ramadan, he would see a tree growing in front of him. He would ask it: What is your name? It would reply: My name is such-and-such. He would ask: What are you for? It would say: For such-and-such a purpose. If it was for medicine, it would be written down (as a remedy), and if it was for planting, it would be planted. One day, while he was praying, he suddenly found a tree growing in front of him. He asked it: What is your name? It replied: Al-kharrub (the carob). He asked: What are you for? It said: For the ruin and destruction of this house (Bayt al-Maqdis). Then Sulayman (peace be upon him) supplicated: O Allah, conceal my death from the jinn, so that humans may know (with certainty) that the jinn do not know the unseen. So he made a staff from it and, leaning upon it, remained for a year in the state of death while the jinn remained yoked (to their work, out of fear). Then when he fell (to the ground), it became clear to humans that the jinn do not know the unseen. He said: The jinn thanked the termite (for eating the staff and freeing them from their toil), and that is why they used to bring water to it (as a reward)." And Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) used to recite it in this way (with this interpretation). This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it. And it is extremely gharib (singular) as a narration of Abdullah bin Wahb from Ibrahim bin Tahman, for I have not found any other narration from him besides this. And Salamah bin Kuhayl narrated it from Sa'id bin Jubayr as mawquf, with its chain ending at Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both).
