اُردوEn
عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَجُلًا مَرَّ بِهِ وَهُوَ يَغْرِسُ غَرْسًا بِدِمَشْقَ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَتَفْعَلُ هَذَا وَأَنْتَ صَاحِبُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ لَا تَعْجَلْ عَلَيَّ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ مَنْ غَرَسَ غَرْسًا لَمْ يَأْكُلْ مِنْهُ آدَمِيٌّ وَلَا خَلْقٌ مِنْ خَلْقِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ إِلَّا كَانَ لَهُ صَدَقَةٌ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Darda’ (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I was planting a sapling in Damascus when a man passed by me and said: O Abu Darda! You are a companion and yet you do this work? I said: Do not be hasty in objecting to me, I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: Whenever a person plants a sapling, then whatever a human, or rather any creature of Allah Almighty, eats from it, it is charity for him.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … The reason for the objection was that this man had memorized the texts condemning the world and its cultivation; in light of these, he objected to Sayyiduna Abu Darda radi Allahu anhu, arguing that it does not befit a Companion of the Messenger to turn his attention to worldly matters. In response, he (Abu Darda radi Allahu anhu) answered him with his good intention.
