Antisemitic Hadith: ‘The Prophecy Of The Rock And The Tree’ – MEMRI Clips And Reports
MEMRI TV recently translated and released excerpts from a Friday sermon delivered on December 15, 2017 by Imam Mohamed Tatai, formerly imam of the Mosquée Ennour in Toulouse and currently imam of the new Grand Mosque of Toulouse, in which he cited an antisemitic hadith.[1]
Over the years MEMRI TV has translated many sermons citing this hadith. The hadith, “The Prophecy of the Rock and the Tree,” appears in the Muslim [d. 875 CE], the Al-Tirmidhi [d. 892 CE], and the Ibn Hanbal [d. 855 CE] compilations of hadiths,[2] and a shorter version of the hadith appears in the Bukhari [d. 870 CE] compilation.
The longer version states that on Judgment Day, the Muslims will fight the Jews, and the Jews will hide behind rocks and trees. Then the rocks and the trees will speak, calling upon the Muslims: “Oh Muslim, oh servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill them.” The hadith goes on to say that all trees will act this way, except for one tree – the gharqad tree, which is therefore defined as “one of the trees of the Jews.”[3]
Various imams have claimed that Israel, being aware of the Jews’ fate on Judgment Day, plants many gharqad trees as protection,[4] One even suggested that this can be viewed on Google Earth.[5]
In a July 12, 2018 press release, the Great Mosque of Paris called it “a hadith reported by a traditionalist author (Abu Horaira) who was himself rejected by Umayyad Muslim dynasty” and added: “There is no reason for this hadith to have been exhumed from oblivion.”[6] This claim is incorrect, as can be seen in the list below of references to the hadith translated by MEMRI in sermons and speeches over the years. Furthermore, not only does Hamas cite this hadith in its charter,[7] but it also appears in official statements of Salafi-jihadi organizations such as Al-Qaeda. Osama bin Laden cited it, for example, in a February 2003 sermon marking ‘Eid Al-Adha (Feast of the Sacrifice).[8]

this story is the favorite of any shitslam hack driver
Let us all recall this famous (or infamous) verse:
“O YOU who have attained to faith! Do not take the Jews and the Christians for your allies: they are but allies of one another and whoever of you allies himself with them becomes, verily, one of them; behold, God does not guide people who are unjust.” (Quran 5:51)
Pro-pat Moham-mad attacked , captured , murdered jewish villages , raped Jewish woman allowed them to be kept as sex slaves by his gang mates because they did not accept him as their pro-pat.
Muslims are following their perfect man – Moham-mad. And if you dare expose truth about him they will keel you !
just like the jihadis in Indianapolis are doing http://bit.ly/2rVCN7E
. I have always tried my very best to state how and
what reality is affecting those of us who believe in peace, harmony and the
expectation that we are all equal. I try to speak to that reality, and I long
ago concluded that the writings and conduct of those who follow the sardonic
belief system that is Islam are to be recognized as a people who we simply
cannot trust. My frustration today, is not that anything about their belief
system has changed, but that the liberals, who blind themselves to truth and
reality, cannot accept that reality and seem to be on a quest for suicide. I
fear for the free world and the youth to come. While
I recognize that not all Muslim’s are terrorists, the failure of those so
called peaceful Islamic believers to actively reject the insane writings of their belief system
that treat all non-Muslims, especially the Jews, as their enemy, continues to promote the evil within
their belief system, leaving me with the conclusion that they are unable to
live harmoniously with us non-believers, and they must be segregated to lands
that accept their inane belief system. My major concern is what seems to be the
world’s failure to see that reality and the overwhelming horror that continues
to grow and fester. What we need is political leaders who will recognize the
serious problem that this world faces from Islam, and react appropriately by
setting in motion all that needs to be done to stop it in its tracks. I am not
suggesting violence, as that is not in my makeup, though I agree that people
should always be able to protect and defend themselves from evil, but the bottom line is
we need some action to preclude these crazy believers from their death march
against our free world societies. Please recognize that people who think like me
are not racist, bigoted, although admittedly rightfully Islamophobic, but more
importantly realistic and willing to speak out.
Not all Nazis were violent, that didn’t make them good.
Racial and/or Ethnic and/or Religious hatred
endorsed as valid ?
HOW ?
It seems to me that the hating group should be
Quarantined and/or liquidated
AND NOT
The victims of their admitted HATE !
