Where was Luqman al-Hakeem born and where was he buried, and is there a tree named after him that has a different shape from other trees?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Luqman the Wise was a righteous servant whom Allah endowed with wisdom. It has been said that he was a prophet, but the more accepted view is that he was a wise saint (wali) and not a prophet. He was a Nubian from among the people of righteousness, and it is said that he was a judge during the time of David, peace be upon him. The place of his birth or burial is not mentioned, and there is no mention of the tree in question in the accounts of his life.
