Thus, I am the leader of the children of Adam, and I do not say this out of pride. Rather, (on the Day of Resurrection) the earth will be split open for me first, and I will intercede first, and my intercession will be accepted first.”

He asked, "Why have you camped under this large tree?" I replied, "I wanted to come under its shade." He asked, "Is there any other reason besides this?" I said, "No, nothing else compelled me to camp here." Then Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) informed me that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When you are between the two mountains of Mina," the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) pointed towards the east with his blessed hand and said, "There is a valley there called 'Sarr.' There is a tree under which seventy [70] prophets camped."

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The people before you were destroyed because of their excessive (unnecessary) questioning of their prophets and their disagreements. So whatever you ask me about, I will tell you about it." Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Hudhafah stood up and asked: "O Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him)! Who is my father?" The Prophet (peace be upon him) replied: "Your father is Hudhafah." He went back to his mother. His mother said to him: "Why did you do that? We belonged to the time of ignorance and used to do bad deeds (but that does not mean you should ask such questions)." He said: "I had to find out about this so that I would know who my father is." The narrator says: There was an element of humor in his temperament.
