English narration

Narrated by عبد الله بن عمر العدوي

We were with the Prophet (ﷺ) and fresh dates of a palm tree were brought to him. On that he said, "Amongst the trees, there is a tree which resembles a Muslim." I wanted to say that it was the datepalm tree but as I was the youngest of all (of them) I kept quiet. And then the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "It is the date-palm tree."

النص العربي

حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، قَالَ : قَالَ لِي ابْنُ أَبِي نَجِيحٍ ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ ، قَالَ : صَحِبْتُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ ، فَلَمْ أَسْمَعْهُ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَّا حَدِيثًا وَاحِدًا ، قَالَ : "

كُنَّا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأُتِيَ بِجُمَّارٍ ، فَقَالَ : إِنَّ مِنَ الشَّجَرِ شَجَرَةً مَثَلُهَا كَمَثَلِ الْمُسْلِمِ ، فَأَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَقُولَ : هِيَ النَّخْلَةُ ، فَإِذَا أَنَا أَصْغَرُ الْقَوْمِ فَسَكَتُّ ، قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : هِيَ النَّخْلَةُ
