Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 5921

وَعَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " الْمَدِينَةُ يَتْرُكُهَا أَهْلُهَا وَهِيَ مُرْطِبَةٌ " ، قَالُوا : فَمَنْ يَأْكُلُهَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ؟ قَالَ : " السِّبَاعُ وَالْعَائِفُ " .
رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدَ ، وَرِجَالُهُ ثِقَاتٌ .
Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The people of Madinah will leave it while its dates are ready (for picking)." The people said: "O Messenger of Allah, who will eat (its fruit and the like)?" He said: "Beasts of prey and animals (or birds)."
Ahmad recorded it, and its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy).
