(وَعَنْهُ أَيْضًا) قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ”مَثَلُ الْمُؤْمِنِ مَثَلُ شَجَرَةٍ لَا تَطْرَحُ وَرَقَهَا“، قَالَ: فَوَقَعَ النَّاسُ فِي شَجَرِ الْبَدْوِ، وَوَقَعَ فِي قَلْبِي أَنَّهَا النَّخْلَةُ، فَاسْتَحْيَيْتُ أَنْ أَتَكَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ”هِيَ النَّخْلَةُ“، قَالَ: فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِعُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، فَقَالَ: يَا بُنَيَّ! مَا مَنَعَكَ أَنْ تَتَكَلَّمَ، فَوَاللَّهِ! لَأَنْ تَكُونَ قُلْتَ ذَلِكَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ يَكُونَ لِي كَذَا وَكَذَا
It is also narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin 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. People began to speculate about the various trees of the forest; it occurred to me that it is the date palm tree, but due to being young, I hesitated to speak. Finally, the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: It is the date palm tree. Ibn Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, says: I mentioned this to Sayyiduna Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, so he said: Son! What prevented you from speaking? By Allah! If you had said this there, it would have been more beloved to me today than anything else.
