Sahabi Tree that witnesses the silence of meeting the Prophet Muhammad SAW with the Christian Priest named Bahira. It has been rediscovered by Prince Ghazi bin Muhammad and Jordanian government authorities. when checking state archives at Royal Archives.
They found references from ancient texts stating that the Sahabi Tree Was in the desert territory of Jordan.
After 1400 years, the tree is found alive and still grows firmly in the middle of the vicious desert of Jordan along with some famous scholars including Sheikh Ahmad Hassoun, Great Syrian Mufti, Prince Ghazi. Conducting observations and it is true that the old tree is mentioned in the Bahira monks' records.
Now the Tree is conserved by the Jordanian government and routinely monitored its existence.
The existence of this tree is quite unique and considered not suitable to grow in the surrounding environment.
Because the environment around the tree, is dry and very arid soil, while the Sahabi tree becomes the only tree that thrives with leafy leaves.
This condition is against the aridity and the absence of color from the environment around the tree. Although the power of the sun in the middle of the desert is very hot, but will feel shady when under this tree.
Three ancient manuscripts written by Ibn Hisham, Ibn Sa'd al-Baghdadi, and Muhammad Ibn Jarir al-Tabari tell of the story of Bahira who met the little boy of the last apostle candidate.
At that time Muhammad was only 9 or 12 years old. He accompanied his uncle Abu Talib on his way to trade to Syria.
One day, the Prieure Bahira got the feeling that he was going to meet the last prophet. Suddenly he saw a group of Arab merchant caravans, and saw a young man with the appropriate features depicted in his book.
then Bahira invited the caravan in a banquet.
All members of the caravan attended except the child he was waiting for. Evidently. Little Muhammad was waiting under a tree to guard the camels.
Bahira went out to look for him and he was amazed to see the Sahabi branches ducking to protect the youth from the sun. And a lump of cloud shadows wherever he goes.
Bahira also requested that the little boy be invited as well as shelter and dine at the banquet. He immediately examined and questioned this young man. and concludes that He is the last messenger described in the Bible.
Bahira also convinced the boy's uncle Abu Talib to return to Makkah, because the Jews were looking for Muhammad SAW to kill him.
This tree is miraculously preserved by God for a long time. But anyone can still touch and shelter under the branches that are always lush.
