Transliteration:( Wa huzzeee ilaiki bijiz 'in nakhlati tusaaqit 'alaiki rutaban janiyyaa )
38. Where she was sitting at the time of labour pains, there was a palm tree, which was in the form of a dry trunk. She was told to shake this and out of your blessed touch this trunk will instantly become green and fruit bearing. Instantly its fruit will ripen and fall on you, which you can eat. The reason for letting her touch the tree was to inform that the mere touch of a saint can transform a dry withered trunk to a lush green tree. If their hands can do this, their gaze, too, can change dry impious heart to one of piety.Â
39. In this there is a proof of the miracle of a saintly lady or it reflects the bounty and link with a Prophet because it is incredible for fruit to fall from a dry tree. We further learn that at the time of delivery the women should be fed with dates, which would ease all difficulties. Even today, the ladies at the time of labour are given dry dates to eat, on which a person had prayed. Proof for doing it, is this blessed verse.
