حَدَّثَنَا غَسَّانُ، عَنْ حَمَّادٍ، عَنْ شُعَيْبِ بْنِ الْحَبْحَابِ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أُتِيَ بِقِنَاعٍ عَلَيْهِ بُسْرٌ، فَقَالَ: مَثَلا كَلِمَةً طَيِّبَةً كَشَجَرَةٍ طَيِّبَةٍ أَصْلُهَا ثَابِتٌ وَفَرْعُهَا فِي السَّمَاءِ تُؤْتِي أُكُلَهَا كُلَّ حِينٍ بِإِذْنِ رَبِّهَا، فَقَالَ: هِيَ النَّخْلَةُ، وَمَثَلُ كَلِمَةٍ خَبِيثَةٍ كَشَجَرَةٍ خَبِيثَةٍ اجْتُثَّتْ مِنْ فَوْقِ الأَرْضِ مَا لَهَا مِنْ قَرَارٍ، قَالَ: هِيَ الْحَنْظَلُ

✧ The Messenger of God ﷺ was brought a basket with unripe dates on it, and he said: 'The example of a good word is like a good tree, its root firm and its branches in the sky, yielding its fruit every season by permission of its Lord.' He said: It is the date palm. 'And the example of a bad word is like a bad tree, uprooted from above the ground, having no stability.' He said: It is the colocynth.
