حَدَّثَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ سَهْلٍ، قَالَ: نَا عَفَّانُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، قَالَ: نَا حَفْصُ بْنُ غِيَاثٍ، قَالَ: نَا حَبِيبٌ - يَعْنِي: ابْنَ أَبِي عَمْرَةَ - عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ - ؓ
فِي قَوْلِ اللهِ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى: مَا قَطَعْتُمْ مِنْ لِينَةٍ أَوْ تَرَكْتُمُوهَا قَائِمَةً عَلَى أُصُولِهَا فَبِإِذْنِ اللهِ وَلِيُخْزِيَ الْفَاسِقِينَ، قَالَ: اللِّينَةُ: النَّخْلَةُ. وَلِيُخْزِيَ الْفَاسِقِينَ، قَالَ: اسْتَنْزَلُوهُمْ مِنْ حُصُونِهِمْ وَأُمِرُوا بِقَطْعِ النَّخْلِ، فَقَالُوا: قَدْ قَطَعْنَا بَعْضًا فَلْنَسْأَلَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ: هَلْ لَنَا فِيمَا قَطَعْنَا مِنْ أَجْرٍ ؟ وَهَلْ عَلَيْنَا فِيمَا تَرَكْنَا مِنْ وِزْرٍ ؟ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى: مَا قَطَعْتُمْ مِنْ لِينَةٍ فَبِإِذْنِ اللهِ وَمَا تَرَكْتُمْ فَبِإِذْنِ اللهِ

✧ Regarding the words of God, Blessed and Exalted: 'Whatever you cut down of palm trees or left standing on their roots, it was by God's permission, and to disgrace the transgressors' (Qur'an 59:5). He said: 'Linah' means the date palm. 'And to disgrace the transgressors'—he said: They brought them down from their fortresses and were commanded to cut the palm trees. They said: We have cut some, so let us ask the Messenger of God ﷺ: Is there any reward for us in what we cut, and any sin upon us in what we left? So God, Blessed and Exalted, revealed: 'Whatever you cut down of palm trees, it was by God's permission; and whatever you left, it was by God's permission.'
