Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ عَنْ الْمِنْهَالِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو عَنْ يَعْلَى بْنِ مُرَّةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ كُنْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي سَفَرٍ فَنَزَلَ مَنْزِلًا فَقَالَ لِيَ ائْتِ تِلْكَ الْأَشَاءَتَيْنِ فَقُلْ لَهُمَا إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَأْمُرُكُمَا أَنْ تَجْتَمِعَا فَأَتَيْتُهُمَا فَقُلْتُ لَهُمَا ذَلِكَ فَوَثَبَتْ إِحْدَاهُمَا إِلَى الْأُخْرَى فَاجْتَمَعَتَا فَخَرَجَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَاسْتَتَرَ بِهِمَا فَقَضَى حَاجَتَهُ ثُمَّ وَثَبَتْ كُلُّ وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْهُمَا إِلَى مَكَانِهَا.
English Translation
Waki' told us, al-A'mash told us, from al-Minhal ibn Amr, from Ya'la ibn Murrah, from his father, who said: I was with the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, on a journey, and he stopped at a place, and he said to me, "Go to those two young palm trees and say to them: the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, commands you two to come together." So I went to them and said that to them, and one of them leapt toward the other and they came together. Then the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, came out and screened himself behind them and relieved himself, then each one of them leapt back to its place.
