In Ibn Taymiyyah’s statement (and I know one whom the plants speak to), did he mean himself?

The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: In the statement of the Shaykh al-Islam (may Allah have mercy on him), “and I know one whom the plants speak to,” and his statement, “and I know one whom the stone speaks to,” is this man himself, meaning the Shaykh al-Islam himself?

The Shaykh:
Yes, the Shaykh is saying that he knows people for whom such things happen.

The questioner:
I think he wants to ask in his question whether this is the one the Shaykh al-Islam is addressing himself?

The Shaykh:
No, meaning did this happen to him? No, but he knows people; he says, “I know people,”
