حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ بَحْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ الْبُكَالِيِّ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عُتْبَةَ بْنَ عَبْدٍ السُّلَمِيِّ يَقُولُ

جَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ، فَسَأَلَهُ عَنِ الْحَوْضِ، وَذَكَرَ الْجَنَّةَ، ثُمَّ قَالَ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ: فِيهَا فَاكِهَةٌ؟ قَالَ: « نَعَمْ، وَفِيهَا شَجَرَةٌ تُدْعَى طُوبَى » فَذَكَرَ شَيْئًا لَا أَدْرِي مَا هُوَ؟ قَالَ: أَيُّ شَجَرِ أَرْضِنَا تُشْبِهُ؟ قَالَ: « لَيْسَتْ تُشْبِهُ شَيْئًا مِنْ شَجَرِ أَرْضِكَ » فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: « أَتَيْتَ الشَّامَ؟ » فَقَالَ: لَا، قَالَ: « تُشْبِهُ شَجَرَةً بِالشَّامِ، تُدْعَى الْجَوْزَةُ، تَنْبُتُ عَلَى سَاقٍ وَاحِدٍ، وَيَنْفَرِشُ أَعْلَاهَا » قَالَ: مَا عِظَمُ أَصْلِهَا؟ قَالَ: « لَوِ ارْتَحَلَتْ جَذَعَةٌ مِنْ إِبِلِ أَهْلِكَ مَا أَحَطْتَ بِأَصْلِهَا حَتَّى تَنْكَسِرَ تَرْقُوَتُهَا هَرَمًا ». قَالَ: فِيهَا عِنَبٌ؟ قَالَ: « نَعَمْ » قَالَ: فَمَا عِظَمُ الْعُنْقُودِ؟ قَالَ: « مَسِيرَةُ شَهْرٍ لِلْغُرَابِ الْأَبْقَعِ وَلَا يَفْتُرُ » قَالَ: فَمَا عِظَمُ الْحَبَّةِ؟ قَالَ: « هَلْ ذَبَحَ أَبُوكَ تَيْسًا مِنْ غَنَمِهِ قَطُّ عَظِيمًا؟ » قَالَ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: « فَسَلَخَ إِهَابَهُ فَأَعْطَاهُ أُمَّكَ، قَالَ: اتَّخِذِي لَنَا مِنْهُ دَلْوًا؟ » قَالَ: نَعَمْ. قَالَ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ: فَإِنَّ تِلْكَ الْحَبَّةَ لَتُشْبِعُنِي وَأَهْلَ بَيْتِي؟ قَالَ: « نَعَمْ وَعَامَّةَ عَشِيرَتِكَ

✧ A Bedouin came to the Prophet ﷺ and asked him about the Hawd (cistern), and he mentioned Paradise. Then the Bedouin said: "Does it contain fruit?" He said: "Yes, and in it there is a tree called Tuba." Then he mentioned something I do not know what it was. He said: "Which tree of our land does it resemble?" He said: "It does not resemble anything from the trees of your land." The Prophet ﷺ said: "Have you been to al-Sham?" He said: "No." He said: "It resembles a tree in al-Sham called al-Jawzah (the walnut tree), which grows on a single trunk and its top spreads out." He said: "How large is its base?" He said: "If a young she-camel of your people's camels were to travel around its base, it would not encompass it until its collarbone breaks from old age." He said: "Does it contain grapes?" He said: "Yes." He said: "How large is the cluster?" He said: "A month's journey for the piebald crow, without tiring." He said: "How large is a single grape?" He said: "Did your father ever slaughter a large goat from his sheep?" He said: "Yes." He said: "And he skinned its hide and gave it to your mother, saying: 'Make for us a bucket from it'?" He said: "Yes." The Bedouin said: "Then that single grape would satisfy me and my household?" He said: "Yes, and the majority of your clan."
