[6127] 140 - (2362) Râfi' bin Khadîj said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ came to Al-Madinah, and they (the farmers) were pollinating the date palms. They said, they are pollinating the date palms. He said: 'What are you doing?' They said: 'We used to do that.' He said: "Perhaps if you do not do it, it may be better." So they stopped doing it, and the crop (that year) failed or the yield was reduced. They mentioned that to him and he said: 'I am only human. If I tell you to do some in religious matter, then follow it, but if I tell you to do something based on my opinion, then I am only human.'"

Arabic text

140 - (2362) حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ الرُّومِيِّ الْيَمَامِيُّ، وَعَبَّاسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَظِيمِ الْعَنْبَرِيُّ، وَأَحْمَدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الْمَعْقِرِيُّ، قَالُوا: حَدَّثَنَا النَّضْرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عِكْرِمَةُ وَهُوَ ابْنُ عَمَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النَّجَاشِيِّ، حَدَّثَنِي رَافِعُ بْنُ خَدِيجٍ، قَالَ: قَدِمَ نَبِيُّ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْمَدِينَةَ، وَهُمْ يَأْبُرُونَ النَّخْلَ، يَقُولُونَ يُلَقِّحُونَ النَّخْلَ، فَقَالَ: «مَا تَصْنَعُونَ؟» قَالُوا: كُنَّا نَصْنَعُهُ، قَالَ: «لَعَلَّكُمْ لَوْ لَمْ تَفْعَلُوا كَانَ خَيْرًا» فَتَرَكُوهُ، فَنَفَضَتْ أَوْ فَنَقَصَتْ، قَالَ فَذَكَرُوا ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَ: «إِنَّمَا أَنَا بَشَرٌ، إِذَا أَمَرْتُكُمْ بِشَيْءٍ مِنْ دِينِكُمْ فَخُذُوا بِهِ، وَإِذَا أَمَرْتُكُمْ بِشَيْءٍ مِنْ رَأْيِي، فَإِنَّمَا أَنَا بَشَرٌ» قَالَ عِكْرِمَةُ: أَوْ نَحْوَ هَذَا. قَالَ الْمَعْقِرِيُّ: فَنَفَضَتْ وَلَمْ يَشُكَّ
