Shaking a tree at night

Some people say that a tree should not be shaken at night because it sleeps, and shaking it makes it restless. Similarly, some people say that if a person gets hit by a broom, their body dries up, or do not sweep at night because it leads to poverty and starvation. All these things are wrong, baseless, and superstitious; they have no connection with the Islamic Shariah. (Aham Masail/Vol:2/Pg:37)
