It is narrated from Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) and Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) heard some voices and asked: "What are these voices?" The people said: "These are the date palms which people are pollinating (grafting)." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Even if they did not do it, they would still turn out well." The narrator said: Then the people held back from this practice and did not pollinate that year, as a result of which the dates became poor and spoilt. When this was mentioned to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If it is a matter of your worldly affairs, then you know it (better) yourselves; and if it is something from the matters of your religion, then it is (to be referred) to me."
