[7099] 64 - (...) It was narrated that Ibn 'Umar said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said to his Companions one day: 'Tell me about a tree that is like the believer.' The people started to mention various desert trees." Ibn 'Umar said: "It occurred to me that it was the date palm, and I wanted to say it, but because the people were so much older than me, I felt shy to speak. When they fell silent, the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'It is the date palm.'"
64 - (2811) حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ الْغُبَرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ، عَنْ أَبِي الْخَلِيلِ الضُّبَعِيِّ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: يَوْمًا لِأَصْحَابِهِ: «أَخْبِرُونِي عَنْ شَجَرَةٍ، مَثَلُهَا مَثَلُ الْمُؤْمِنِ» فَجَعَلَ الْقَوْمُ يَذْكُرُونَ شَجَرًا مِنْ شَجَرِ الْبَوَادِي، قَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ: وَأُلْقِيَ فِي نَفْسِي أَوْ رُوعِيَ، أَنَّهَا النَّخْلَةُ، فَجَعَلْتُ أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَقُولَهَا، فَإِذَا أَسْنَانُ الْقَوْمِ، فَأَهَابُ أَنْ أَتَكَلَّمَ، فَلَمَّا سَكَتُوا، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «هِيَ النَّخْلَةُ»
