'Stones and trees calling out 'kill the Jews',' as revealed in the hadiths, is meantin a figurative sense.A believer will not act according to a voice coming from stones and trees andwill not kill an innocent person. A Muslim acts solely according to

Abu Huraira (ra) reported Allah's Messenger (saas) assaying:
"The Last Hour would not come unless the Muslims will fight against
the Jews. The Jews would hide themselves behind a stone or a tree and
a stone or a tree would say: 'Muslim, or the servant of Allah, there
is a Jew behind me; come and kill him;' but the tree Gharqad would not
say, for it is the tree of the Jews."
(Sahih Muslim, Kitab al-Fitan wa Ashrat as-Sa'ah, Book 41, 6985)
"So that Jews will hide behind trees and the tree will say "Muslim!
The servant of Allah! Come, look there is a Jewbehind me, he hid here,
behind me, come and punish him". Only the tree Gharqad will not say,
for it is the tree of the Jews."
(Kitab al-Fitan, hadith. 2239)
One statement by Mr. Adnan Oktar concerning hadiths in which our
Prophet (saas) refers to "stones and trees in the End Times telling
Muslims the location of Jews hidingbehind them and saying 'Come and
kill them'," reads:
"We look at events in thelight of the Qur'an and the hadiths. But one
cannot issue a pronouncement on the basis of one single verse in the
Qur'an. One must look at the verses as a whole. The same appliesto the
hadiths. The otherhadiths complement one another. Therefore, if
someone comes and tells us, 'There is a Jew here, come and kill him,'
we will not kill him. Whyshould we? That person would have to commit a
crime. And if he commitsa crime he will have to be tried. And the
judge will pronounce sentenceat the end of the trial. There is a whole
system and legal procedure involved. It does not mean that anyone who
sees him can kill him and try him himself. We can see what this
hadithmeans by looking at others. Otherwise, it is a sin to kill an
innocent Jew, a person, a child, standing there, and heed a voice from
a stone telling us to kill them. That is unacceptable. We must grasp
what our Prophet (saas) really means. It would appear the hadithmeans
this: Jews who are atheists or enemies of religion cannot hide. Those
who hide among wood or stones will be located using all kinds
ofelectrical devices and equipment, and the evil and activities of
these people will thus be prevented, and that will be a punishment for
them. That is what the hadith may be implying.
