Use find -type f -printf "<whatever>" to print the file name plus modification date or anything else you want to know about the file. man find.

Using tree

tree -D

Quoting from man tree

-D Print the date of the last modification time or if -c is used, the last status change time for the file listed.

Test

% tree -D
.
|-- [Oct 19 20:20]  dir1
|   |-- [Oct 19 19:49]  file1
|   |-- [Oct 19 19:49]  file2
|   `-- [Oct 19 19:49]  file3
`-- [Oct 19 20:20]  dir2
    |-- [Oct 19 20:20]  file1
    |-- [Oct 19 20:20]  file2
    `-- [Oct 19 20:20]  file3

2 directories, 6 files

Using ls followed by awk

ls -lR | awk '$9 {print $6, $7, $8, $9}'

Test

% ls -lR | awk '$9 {print $6, $7, $8, $9}'
Oct 19 19:49 file1
Oct 19 19:49 file2
Oct 19 19:49 file3
