Hazrat Ata bin Saib narrates from one of these persons that I asked Hazrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) that I have taken an oath that I will not speak to a person for a certain period (of time)? He recited the verse of the Holy Qur'an { تُؤْتِیْٓ اُکُلَھَا کُلَّ حِیْنٍ بِاِذْنِ رَبِّھَا } and said: By the word "Hīn" is meant one year.

He replied, "By 'al-hin' is meant the period from when the dates become visible until they ripen, and the period from when they ripen until they become apparent." Hazrat Saeed then recited from { ضَرَبَ اللّٰہُ مَثَلًا کَلِمَۃً } to { تُؤْتِیْٓ اُکُلَھَا کُلَّ حِیْنٍ بِاِذْنِ رَبِّھَا }.
