(وَعَنْهُ أَيْضًا) عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: ”إِنَّ مَثَلَ الْمُؤْمِنِ مَثَلُ شَجَرَةٍ لَا يَسْقُطُ وَرَقُهَا، فَمَا هِيَ؟“، قَالَ: فَقَالُوا وَقَالُوا فَلَمْ يُصِيبُوا، وَأَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَقُولَ: هِيَ النَّخْلَةُ، فَاسْتَحْيَيْتُ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ”هِيَ النَّخْلَةُ“
It is also narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: The example of a believer is like a tree whose leaves do not fall. Which tree could that be? Sayyiduna Ibn Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, says: People mentioned the names of various trees, but they could not give the correct answer. I intended to say that it is the date palm tree, but I hesitated. Finally, the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: It is the date palm tree.
