English translation

[6126] 139 - (2361) It was narrated from Mûsâ bin Talhah that his father said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ and I passed by some people who were at the top of their date palms. He said: 'What are these people doing?' They said: 'They are pollinating them, putting the male with the female so that it will be pollinated.' The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'I do not think that it is of any use.' They were told about that, so they stopped doing it. The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ was told about that and he said: 'If it benefits them, let them do it. I only expressed what I thought. Do not blame me for what I say based on my own thoughts, but if I narrate something to you from Allâh, then follow it, for I will never tell lies about Allâh, may He Glorified and Exalted is He.'"

139 - (2361) حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الثَّقَفِيُّ، وَأَبُو كَامِلٍ الْجَحْدَرِيُّ، وَتَقَارَبَا فِي اللَّفْظِ. وَهَذَا حَدِيثُ قُتَيْبَةَ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ، عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ طَلْحَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: مَرَرْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِقَوْمٍ عَلَى رُءُوسِ النَّخْلِ، فَقَالَ: «مَا يَصْنَعُ هَؤُلَاءِ؟» فَقَالُوا: يُلَقِّحُونَهُ، يَجْعَلُونَ الذَّكَرَ فِي الْأُنْثَى فَيَلْقَحُ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَا أَظُنُّ يُغْنِي ذَلِكَ شَيْئًا» قَالَ فَأُخْبِرُوا بِذَلِكَ فَتَرَكُوهُ، فَأُخْبِرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِذَلِكَ فَقَالَ: «إِنْ كَانَ يَنْفَعُهُمْ ذَلِكَ فَلْيَصْنَعُوهُ، فَإِنِّي إِنَّمَا ظَنَنْتُ ظَنًّا، فَلَا تُؤَاخِذُونِي بِالظَّنِّ، وَلَكِنْ إِذَا حَدَّثْتُكُمْ عَنِ اللهِ شَيْئًا، فَخُذُوا بِهِ، فَإِنِّي لَنْ أَكْذِبَ عَلَى اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ»
