English translation

1851. 'Umar bin Al-Khaṭṭāb narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Eat olive and use its oil, for indeed it is a blessed tree." (Sahīh) [Abū 'Eisā said:] We do not know of this Hadīth except through the narration of 'Abdur-Razzāq from Ma'mar (narrators in the chain of this Hadīth). 'Abdur-Razzāq would narrate this with Idtirāb. Sometimes he mentioned in it: "From 'Umar, from the Prophet ﷺ" and sometimes he reported it indicating doubt, saying: "I think it is from 'Umar from the Prophet ﷺ." And sometimes he said: "From Zaid bin Aslam, from his father, from the Prophet ﷺ" in Mursal form. (Another chain) from Zaid bin Aslam, from his father, from the Prophet ﷺ with similar. And he did not mention "from 'Umar" in it.

Commentary

In Sūrat An-Nūr, 24 of the Qur'an, the olive tree has been described as a blessed tree, and praise has been given to its oil. That is why the Prophet ﷺ has exhorted the believers to make use of it.
