Thirteenth sign:
Another type of miracle a mutawatir one with various examples is the
Prophet's healing of the sick and wounded with his breath. In their entirety.
such miracles are mutawatir in meaning. Certain incidents also have the
certainty of tawatur in meaning. The rest should be regarded as authentic
according to the scientific principles of Tradition although their narration
depends on only one chain of transmission because they are related and verified
by discerning leaders of this science. Out of many relevant examples we cite
only a few: |

Three examples related to the eleventh sign |
|
Written by Bediuzzaman Said Nursi
|
Twelfth sign:
The following three examples related to the eleventh sign are very
significant.
First example: As established
through all interpreters' meticulous verification and all Traditionists'
reports the verse:
When you threw it was not you that threw but God threw (8:17) refers
to the following incident: During the Battle of Badr. God's Messenger took a
handful of soil and pebbles and threw them at the unbelievers' army saying:
"May your faces be deformed." That handful of soil entered each unbeliever's
eyes and "May your faces be deformed" was heard by each one. They consequently
became preoccupied with their eyes and had to retreat although they had
launched the attack.[1] The
Traditionists most notably Imam Muslim report that the same incident happened
during the Battle of Hunayn. As a result and by God's Power and permission.
each one was hit in the face by a handful of soil and had to flee the
battlefield being preoccupied with their eyes.[2]
As these extraordinary events are beyond human capacity and material causes.
the Qur'an declares: When you threw it was not you that threw but God threw
(8:17). |

Tenth sign:
This concerns the grieving pole which is reported in the form of tawatur
and reinforces the tree‑related miracles. This event which happened in the
Prophet's Mosque before a vast congregation consolidates and confirms such
miracles for the pole came from a tree. But this miracle itself is mutawatir
(has the certainty of explicit tawatur) while miracles concerning trees
are mutawatir when considered as a whole. |

Trees uprooting themselves upon the Messenger's command and drawing near him |
|
Written by Bediuzzaman Said Nursi
|
Ninth sign:
One kind of miracle of God's Messenger is that trees obeyed his orders and
approached him. This miracle like those connected with water flowing from his
fingers has the certainty of tawatur in meaning. Many examples have been
reported through various channels.
Trees uprooting themselves upon the Messenger's command and drawing near him
can be considered explicit tawatur because the best‑known trustworthy
Companions (e.g.. 'Ali. Ibn 'Abbas. Ibn Mas'ud. Ibn 'Umar. Ya'la ibn Murra.
Jabir. Anas ibn Malik. Burayda. Usama ibn Zayd and Ghaylan ibn Salama) reported
the same miracle with certainty. Hundreds of Tabi'un scholars received their
reports directly which have come down to us and thus have the authority of
multiple tawatur. This miracle therefore has the certainty of tawatur
in meaning. We mention only a few examples. |
