English Translation
Jabir narrated: "The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) went to relieve himself, and I followed him with a water vessel. He looked around and saw nothing to screen him. There were two trees at the edge of the valley. He went to one of them, took hold of a branch and said: 'Bend toward me by the permission of Allah.' It bent with him like a camel being led. He reached the other tree, took its branch and said the same, and it bent likewise. When he was midway between them, he brought them together and said: 'Join together over me by Allah's permission.' They joined together. He sat behind them and relieved himself. Then the two trees separated and each stood on its trunk again."
