Musnad Ahmad 6468

Translation

✧ Among the trees is a tree whose leaves do not fall, and it is like the Muslim man. The people began thinking of the trees of the desert, and I was one of the youngest of the people, and it came to my mind that it was the palm tree. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: It is the palm tree. I mentioned that to my father, and he said: If you had said it, it would be dearer to me than such and such.
