أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الرُّومِيِّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا النَّضْرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عِكْرِمَةُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو النَّجَاشِيِّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي رَافِعُ بْنُ خَدِيجٍ قَالَ
قَدِمَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْمَدِينَةَ وَهُمْ يُؤَبِّرُونَ النَّخْلَ يَقُولُ يُلَقِّحُونَ قَالَ فَقَالَ «مَا تَصْنَعُونَ؟ » فَقَالُوا شَيْئًا كَانُوا يَصْنَعُونَهُ فَقَالَ «لَوْ لَمْ تَفْعَلُوا كَانَ خَيْرًا» فَتَرَكُوهَا فَنَفَضَتْ أَوْ نَقَصَتْ فَذَكَرُوا ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَ ﷺ «إِنَّمَا أَنَا بَشَرٌ إِذَا حَدَّثْتُكُمْ بِشَيْءٍ مِنْ أَمْرِ دِينِكُمْ فَخُذُوا بِهِ وَإِذَا حَدَّثْتُكُمْ بِشَيْءٍ مِنْ دُنْيَاكُمْ فَإِنَّمَا أَنَا بَشَرٌ»

✧ The Prophet of Allah ﷺ came to Madinah while they were pollinating date palms, saying "they were fertilizing them." He said: What are you doing? They said: Something they used to do. He said: If you did not do it, it would be better. So they left it, and it shed or decreased. They mentioned that to him, and he ﷺ said: I am only a human. If I tell you something regarding your religion, then take it, and if I tell you something regarding your worldly affairs, then I am only a human.
