Did you not see that to God submit what is in the heavens and what is in the earth, and the sun and the moon and the stars and the mountains and the trees and what moves, and many people, and many who have deserved the retribution.  Whoever God disgraces, then none can honor him.  God does what He pleases. ( Quran 22:18)

The Prophet (ﷺ) used to stand by a tree or a date-palm on Friday.  Then an Ansari woman or man said. “ O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)!  Shall we make a pulpit for you?”  He replied, “If you wish.”  So they made a pulpit for him and when it was Friday, he proceeded towards the pulpit (for delivering the sermon).  The datepalm cried like a child!  The Prophet (ﷺ) descended (the pulpit) and embraced it while it continued moaning like a child being quietened.  The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “It was crying for (missing) what it used to hear of religious knowledge given near to it.” 

The Prophet said: “Whoever says: ‘Glory is to Allah, the Magnificent, and with His Praise (Subhan Allahil-Azim, Wa Bihamdih)’ a date-palm tree is planted for him in Paradise.”
