5239. It was narrated that ‘Abdullāh bin Ḥubshī said: “The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: ‘Whoever cuts down a lote-tree Allāh will put his head in the Fire.’” (Hasan) Abū Dāwūd was asked about the meaning of this Hadīth and he said: This is a brief Hadīth which means: "Whoever cuts down a lote-tree in the wilderness under which wayfarers and animals find shade, for no purpose or unlawfully, Allāh will put his head in the Fire."

5239 - حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ أَبِي سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ مُطْعِمٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ حُبْشِيٍّ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنْ قَطَعَ سِدْرَةً صَوَّبَ اللَّهُ رَأْسَهُ فِي النَّارِ» سُئِلَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ عَنْ مَعْنَى هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ فَقَالَ: «هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ مُخْتَصَرٌ، يَعْنِي مَنْ قَطَعَ سِدْرَةً فِي فَلَاةٍ يَسْتَظِلُّ بِهَا ابْنُ السَّبِيلِ، وَالْبَهَائِمُ عَبَثًا، وَظُلْمًا بِغَيْرِ حَقٍّ يَكُونُ لَهُ فِيهَا صَوَّبَ اللَّهُ رَأْسَهُ فِي النَّارِ»
