<a id="_Toc492473232">H 14562</a> – Ibn Mahboub, from Jameel Bin Saleh, from Al-Waleed Bin Sabeeh, who has reported the following: <span class="first-chapter-phrase"><span class="first-in-chapter character-a">A</span>bu Abdullah</span>^asws having said: ‘Allah^azwj Mighty and Majestic Revealed unto Suleyman Bin Dawood^as that: “The sign of your^as death is a tree which will come out from Bayt Al-Maqdas called <span class="iTxt">Al-Kharnouba</span>”. Suleyman^as looked around one day and there was <span class="iTxt">Al-Kharnouba</span> tree which had emerged from Bayt Al-Maqdas. So he^as said to it: ‘What is your name?’ It said, ‘Al-Kharnouba’. Suleyman^as turned back to his^as Prayer Niche and stood leaning upon his staff. His^as soul was Captured (passed away) in that moment. The Jinn and the human beings kept on serving him^as and were striving in his^as command as before, and they were thinking that he^as was alive and had not died. The morning came and passed, and he^as was still standing still, until the woodworm gnawed away at his^as staff and it broke, and Suleyman^as fell down upon the ground. Have you not heard the Statemennt of the Mighty and Majestic: <span class="ibTxt">“<a href="/#/books/quran:34#h14"><a href="/books/quran:34#h14">[34:14]</a></a> and when it fell down, the jinn came to know plainly that if they had known the unseen, they would not have tarried in abasing torment”</span>.
