Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 587 — concerning this saying of Allah, the Mighty

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ قَالَ : نَا عَفَّانُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ : نَا حَفْصُ بْنُ غِيَاثٍ ، عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ أَبِي عَمْرَةَ ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ .
عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، فِي قَوْلِ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ : مَا قَطَعْتُمْ مِنْ لِينَةٍ أَوْ تَرَكْتُمُوهَا قَائِمَةً عَلَى أُصُولِهَا فَبِإِذْنِ اللهِ قَالَ : اللِّينَةُ : النَّخْلَةُ . وَلِيُخْزِيَ الْفَاسِقِينَ قَالَ : اسْتَنْزَلُوهُمْ مِنْ حُصُونِهِمْ ، وَأُمِرُوا بِقَطْعِ النَّخْلِ ، فَحَكَّ فِي صُدُورِهِمْ ، فَقَالَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ : قَطَعْنَا بَعْضَهَا وَتَرَكْنَا بَعْضَهَا ، فَلَنَسْأَلَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : هَلْ لَنَا فِيمَا قَطَعْنَا مِنْ أَجْرٍ ؟ وَهَلْ عَلَيْنَا فِيمَا تَرَكْنَا مِنْ وِزْرٍ ؟ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ : مَا قَطَعْتُمْ مِنْ لِينَةٍ أَوْ تَرَكْتُمُوهَا قَائِمَةً عَلَى أُصُولِهَا فَبِإِذْنِ اللهِ وَلِيُخْزِيَ الْفَاسِقِينَ I " .
لَمْ يَرْوِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ أَبِي عَمْرَةَ إِلَّا حَفْصٌ ، تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ : عَفَّانُ .
Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) says concerning this saying of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, "Whatever palm trees you cut down or left standing on their roots, it was by the permission of Allah": "'Al-linah' means the date palm. And concerning 'and so that He may disgrace the transgressors' he said: (The Muslims) brought (the enemy) down from their fortresses, and they were ordered to cut down the date palms, and some hesitation arose in their hearts (about this act). So the Muslims said: We have cut down some trees and left some; we shall certainly ask the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) whether we will have any reward for cutting down those trees, and whether there is any sin upon us for leaving them. Then Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, revealed this verse: 'Whatever palm trees you cut down or left standing on their roots, it was by the permission of Allah, and so that He may disgrace the transgressors.'"
No one narrated this hadith from Habib bin Abi Amrah (may Allah have mercy on him) except Hafs (may Allah have mercy on him), and Affan (may Allah have mercy on him) is alone in transmitting it from him.
