#995 Yahya related to me from Malik from Muhammad ibn Amr ibn Halhala
ad-Dili from Muhammad ibn lmran al-Ansari that his father said that
Abdullah ibn Umar came upon him while he stopped for a rest under a
tall tree on the road to Makka, and he said, "What has made you stop
under this tall tree?" He replied that he sought it's shade. Abdullah
ibn Umar said, "Anything besides that?" and he said, "No, that was the
only. reason he stopped for a rest," and Abdullah ibn Umar said, "The
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'If
you are between al-Akhshabayn (which are two mountains) near Mina,'
indicating the east with his outspread hand, 'you will find a valley
called as-Surar with a tree in it beneath which the umbilical cords of
seventy prophets have been cut.' "
