He called it, whereupon the cluster began to descend from the palm-tree until it dropped to the ground. It kept hopping forward until it reached the Prophet ﷺ. He then said to it, “Return,” so it went back until it resumed its original place. The man declared, “I bear witness that you are the Messenger of Allah,” and he accepted Islam. Al-Bukhārī recorded this in his History through Muḥammad ibn Saʿīd al-Aṣbahānī.

Yūnus ibn Bukayr narrated from Ismāʿīl ibn ʿAbd al-Malik, from Abū al-Zubayr, from Jābir, who said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out to relieve himself, and I followed him carrying a water-skin.
