the forest
“And If you knew the grief which will befall the folks of the seas, mountains and forests and hills and heavens due to the killing of Imam Husain (a.s.), you would weep so much that you would die.” – Abu Dharr (ra) (Kamil al-Ziyarat h. # 11)
flower
Imam Ali (AS) said, Take from every knowledge the best of it, for indeed the bee partakes from the most beautiful of every flower, so two precious substances are produced from it: in one of them is a cure for the people, and the other is a means of illumination. (Ghurar al-Hikam – h. # 6943)

the tree
“Abu Abdullah (as): “regarding the tree which the man uproots from his house, inside the Al-Harram’. He said; ‘If the house was built and the tree was in it, then it is not for him that he uproots it; but if it was such that it grew in his house and it is for him, then he can uproot it’.” Al Kafi, Vol. 4, h. 30
the shadow
(It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far (as) having said: ‘Allah Mighty and Majestic Created the creatures. So He Created the ones He Loved from what He Loved, and whatever He Loved He Created it from the clay of the Paradise; and He Created the ones He hated from what He hated, and whatever He hated, Created it from the clay of the fire. Then He sent them into the shadows’. So I said, ‘And which thing is the shadow?’ So he (as) said: ‘Do you not see your own shadow in the sunshine? It is something, but is not a thing’ (Al-Kafi vol 2, part 1, h. 3, H1450)
