Eulogies of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ
At his [Muhammad’s] call the trees came prostrating themselves, walking towards him on legs [trunks] without feet; (72) As though they were tracing lines for what their branches wrote, of a beautiful handwriting, in the main track of the path: (73) Like the cloud, which followed wherever he went, shielding him from the oven-like heat of noontide waxed sultry. (74)
