*300 MIRACLES OF PROPHET MUHAMMAD ﷺ*

Number 231. 

*The Messenger of Allah planted trees of extreme blessing which paid for the freedom of Sayyidina Salman al-Farsi.*

• Sayyidina Salman al Farsi had converted to Islam but had been sold to Jews in Madinah. He wanted to buy himself out of his bondage but they placed a high price upon him. The Jews told him that he would be set free upon the payment of three hundred planted sapling palm-trees that were tied and bore fruit. In addition, they demanded that he pay forty pieces of gold. One day, he was blessed to meet the Messenger of Allah. He told him of his circumstances whereupon the Messenger of Allah planted the trees for him with his own blessed hands - all except for one which someone else planted, and all flourished except that one tree. Each of the trees except that one bore fruit that same year. When the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him,learned of the tree, he uprooted the sapling, replanted it and it took root and bore fruit.

As for the gold, the Messenger of Allah gave Sayyidina Salman the amount of gold equal to the size of a chicken's egg, but first he put it in his blessed mouth. Forty pieces of gold were weighed from it for the Jewish masters, and still the gold did not reduce in amount.
