أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْمُثَنَّى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا غَسَّانُ بْنُ الرَّبِيعِ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ شُعَيْبِ بْنِ الْحَبْحَابِ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ أُتِيَ بِقِنَاعِ جَزْءٍ فقَالَ {مَثَلًا كَلِمَةً طَيِّبَةً كَشَجَرَةٍ طَيِّبَةٍ أَصْلُهَا ثَابِتٌ وَفَرْعُهَا فِي السَّمَاءِ تُؤْتِي أُكُلَهَا كُلَّ حِينٍ بِإِذْنِ رَبِّهَا} فقَالَ «هِيَ النَّخْلَةُ» {وَمَثَلُ كَلِمَةٍ خَبِيثَةٍ كَشَجَرَةٍ خَبِيثَةٍ اجْتُثَّتْ مِنْ فَوْقِ الْأَرْضِ مَا لَهَا مِنْ قَرَارٍ} قَالَ «هِيَ الْحَنْظَلَةُ»

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was brought a bunch of dates, and he said: {A good word is like a good tree: its roots are firm and its branches are in the sky; it yields its fruit at all times by the permission of its Lord.} Then he said: "It is the palm tree." And {the likeness of an evil word is that of an evil tree, which has been uprooted from the surface of the earth, having no stability.} He said: "It is the colocynth."
