Musnad Abi Ya'la 2189 — (the Companions) were given permission to cut
حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ وَكِيعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ مُوسَى، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، قَالَ: رَخَّصَ لَهُمْ فِي قَطْعِ النَّخْلِ ثُمَّ شَدَّدَ عَلَيْهِمْ، فَأَتَوُا النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْنَا إِثْمٌ فِيمَا قَطَعْنَا، أَوْ عَلَيْنَا فِيمَا تَرَكْنَا؟ " فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ {مَا قَطَعْتُمْ مِنْ لِينَةٍ أَوْ تَرَكْتُمُوهَا قَائِمَةً عَلَى أُصُولِهَا فَبِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ} [الحشر: 5] "
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that "(the Companions) were given permission to cut down palm trees, and then they were dealt with strictly in this matter. So they came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: 'O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Is there any sin upon us for the trees we cut down, or for the trees we left (uncut)?' At this Allah, Glorified and Exalted, revealed this blessed verse: 'Whatever palm trees you cut down or left standing on their roots, it was by the permission of Allah' [Al-Hashr: 5]."
