Sahabi Tree, or the Tree of al-Buqayawiyya (The Blessed Tree) (Arabic: شجرة البقيعاوية), is a 1500-year-old tree located in Safawi, Jordan,[1] 156 km (97 mi) from Amman, the capital of Jordan.[2] The tree is an Atlantic Pistachio tree.[3] It is located on the old trade route between Mecca and Damascus. Caravans used to travel by this route.[4][5]
Religious importance
[edit]It is believed that one such caravan was going to Syria from Mecca, when Muhammad sat down under its shadow at the age of 12. He was accompanying his uncle Abu Talib.[6] Under this tree, the monk Bahira foretold about the prophethood of Muhammad.[7][8][9]
It is a tourist attraction in Jordan, with many Muslims visiting the tree every year.[10][11][12]
Compound
[edit]King Abdullah of Jordan ordered to construct a fence around the tree to safeguard the tree.[13]
