62. Narrated Ibn 'Umar رضي الله عنهما: The Prophet ﷺ said, "Amongst the trees, there is a tree, the leaves of which do not fall and is like a Muslim. Tell me the name of that tree." Everybody started thinking about the trees of the desert areas. And I thought of the date-palm tree. The others then asked, "Please inform us what is that tree, O Allāh's Messenger?" He ﷺ replied, "It is the date-palm tree."
62 - حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ مَخْلَدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ دِينَارٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «إِنَّ مِنَ الشَّجَرِ شَجَرَةً لاَ يَسْقُطُ وَرَقُهَا، وَإِنَّهَا مَثَلُ المُسْلِمِ، حَدِّثُونِي مَا هِيَ» قَالَ: فَوَقَعَ النَّاسُ فِي شَجَرِ البَوَادِي قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ: فَوَقَعَ فِي نَفْسِي أَنَّهَا النَّخْلَةُ، فَاسْتَحْيَيْتُ، ثُمَّ قَالُوا: حَدِّثْنَا مَا هِيَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: «هِيَ النَّخْلَةُ»
