حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْحَجَّاجِ النِّيلِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ، عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ طَلْحَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ:
مَرَرْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى قَوْمٍ فِي رُءُوسِ النَّخْلِ، فَقَالَ: " مَا يَصْنَعُ هَؤُلَاءِ ؟ " قَالُوا: يُلَقِّحُونَهُ، فَيَجْعَلُونَ الذَّكَرَ فِي الْأُنْثَى فَيَتَلَقَّحُ. قَالَ: " مَا أَظُنُّ ذَلِكَ يُغْنِي شَيْئًا " فَأَخَذُوا بِذَلِكَ فَتَرَكُوهُ، فَأُخْبِرَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِذَلِكَ، فَقَالَ: إِنْ كَانَ يَنْفَعُهُمْ فَلْيَصْنَعُوهُ، فَإِنِّي إِنَّمَا ظَنَنْتُ ظَنًّا، فَلَا تُؤَاخِذُونِي بِالظَّنِّ، وَلَكِنْ إِذَا أَخْبَرْتُكُمْ عَنِ اللهِ بِشَيْءٍ فَخُذُوهُ، فَإِنِّي لَنْ أَكْذِبَ عَلَى اللهِ شَيْئًا

✧ I passed with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ by a people on the tops of the palm trees, and he said: "What are these people doing?" They said: "They are pollinating them, putting the male into the female so it becomes pollinated." He said: "I do not think that avails anything." So they took that and abandoned it. The Prophet ﷺ was informed of that, and he said: "If it benefits them, let them do it. I only thought a thought, so do not take me to task for conjecture. But when I tell you something from Allah, take it, for I will never tell a lie against Allah."
