أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الطَّيِّبِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الصَّيْرَفِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كَامِلٍ الْجَحْدَرِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ عَنْ أَبِي الْخَلِيلِ عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَوْمًا لِأَصْحَابِهِ «أَخْبِرُونِي عَنْ شَجَرَةٍ مَثَلُهَا مَثَلُ الْمُؤْمِنِ» قَالَ فَجَعَلَ الْقَوْمُ يَتَذَاكَرُونَ شَجَرًا مِنْ شَجَرِ الْوَادِي قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ وَأُلْقِيَ فِي نَفْسِي أَوْ رَوْعِي أَنَّهَا النَّخْلَةُ قَالَ فَجَعَلْتُ أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَقُولَ فَأَرَى أَسْنَانًا مِنَ الْقَوْمِ فَأَهَابُ أَنْ أَتَكَلَّمَ فَلَمْ يَكْشِفُوا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «هِيَ النَّخْلَةُ»

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said one day to his companions: “Tell me about a tree whose likeness is the likeness of the believer.” He said: The people began mentioning trees from the trees of the valley. Abdullah said: And it was cast into my mind or my thought that it was the date-palm. He said: So I wanted to speak, but I saw some of the elders among the people, and I was afraid to say anything. Then when they had not identified it, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “It is the date-palm.”
