حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُوسَى ، عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ مُوسَى بْنَ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ يُحَدِّثُ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، قَالَ : مَرَرْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي نَخْلٍ فَرَأَى قَوْمًا يُلَقِّحُونَ النَّخْلَ ، فَقَالَ : مَا يَصْنَعُ هَؤُلَاءِ ؟ ، قَالُوا : يَأْخُذُونَ مِنَ الذَّكَرِ فَيَجْعَلُونَهُ فِي الْأُنْثَى ، قَالَ : مَا أَظُنُّ ذَلِكَ يُغْنِي شَيْئًا فَبَلَغَهُمْ ، فَتَرَكُوهُ فَنَزَلُوا عَنْهَا فَبَلَغَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : " إِنَّمَا هُوَ الظَّنُّ ، إِنْ كَانَ يُغْنِي شَيْئًا فَاصْنَعُوهُ فَإِنَّمَا أَنَا بَشَرٌ مِثْلُكُمْ وَإِنَّ الظَّنَّ يُخْطِئُ وَيُصِيبُ وَلَكِنْ مَا قُلْتُ لَكُمْ : قَالَ اللَّهُ : فَلَنْ أَكْذِبَ عَلَى اللَّهِ " .
´It was narrated from Simak that the heard Musa bin Talhah bin `Ubaidullah narrating that his father said:` “I passed by some palm trees with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and he saw some people pollinating the trees. He said: 'What are these people doing?' They said: 'They are taking something from the male part (of the plant) and putting it in the female part.' He said: 'I do not think that this will do any good.' News of that reached them, so they stopped doing it, and their yield declined. News of that reached the Prophet (ﷺ) and he said: 'That was only my thought. If it will do any good, then do it. I am only a human being like you, and what I think may be right or wrong. But When I tell you: “Allah (SWT) says,” I will never tell lies about Allah (SWT).' ”

Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues:
(1)
In worldly matters, every action is permissible unless it has been prohibited, but in acts of worship, only those actions are permissible which are established from the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam). To declare self-invented customs and actions as a means of reward is not correct; rather, such actions are innovations (bid‘ah), and committing them is sinful. The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) was a human being, so in worldly matters, he did not give his own opinion the same importance as the opinion of an expert in a particular profession.
(2)
It is not necessary for a prophet to be acquainted with the intricacies of every profession and every art; however, in those matters which pertain to the propagation and clarification of the Shari‘ah, the prophet receives complete guidance from Allah.
(3)
A true prophet cannot lie. And a person who is proven to have lied cannot be truthful in his claim to prophethood. One of the proofs of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani being a liar is that he told blatant lies in worldly matters and deceived the public. For example, he announced regarding his book "Barahin-e-Ahmadiyya" that it would consist of fifty parts. But when the first volume could not be published, he claimed that the publication of five parts fulfilled the promise of fifty parts. In addition to this, he told numerous lies and made false claims, the details of which can be seen in the book "Kadhbaat Mirza" and others by Shaykh al-Islam Maulana Thanaullah Amritsari rahimahullah.
