حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " مَا شَجَرَةٌ لَا يَسْقُطُ وَرَقُهَا وَهِيَ مَثَلُ الْمُؤْمِنِ؟ - أَوْ قَالَ: الْمُسْلِمِ - " قَالَ: فَوَقَعَ النَّاسُ فِي شَجَرِ الْبَوَادِي، قَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ: وَوَقَعَ فِي نَفْسِي أَنَّهَا النَّخْلَةُ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " هِيَ النَّخْلَةُ " قَالَ: فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِعُمَرَ، فَقَالَ: " لَأَنْ تَكُونَ قُلْتَهَا، كَانَ أَحَبَّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ كَذَا وَكَذَا " (١)،
Translation
English translation
It is narrated from Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that once the Prophet (ﷺ) said: "There is a tree whose leaves do not fall, and it is like a Muslim. Tell me, which tree is that?" People began to think of various trees in the forest. It occurred to me that it could be the date palm tree. After a little while, the Prophet (ﷺ) himself said, "It is the date palm tree." I mentioned this to Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), and he said: "If you had spoken up at that moment, it would have been more beloved to me than such and such things."
