Musnad Abi Ya'la 4165 — a tray of dates was presented to the Messenger
حَدَّثَنَا غَسَّانُ، عَنْ حَمَّادٍ، عَنْ شُعَيْبِ بْنِ الْحَبْحَابِ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أُتِيَ بِقِنَاعٍ عَلَيْهِ بُسْرٌ، فَقَالَ: " {مَثَلًا كَلِمَةً طَيِّبَةً كَشَجَرَةٍ طَيِّبَةٍ أَصْلُهَا ثَابِتٌ وَفَرْعُهَا فِي السَّمَاءِ تُؤْتِي أُكُلَهَا كُلَّ حِينٍ بِإِذْنِ رَبِّهَا} [إبراهيم: 25] "، فَقَالَ: " هِيَ النَّخْلَةُ، {وَمَثَلُ كَلِمَةٍ خَبِيثَةٍ كَشَجَرَةٍ خَبِيثَةٍ اجْتُثَّتْ مِنْ فَوْقِ الْأَرْضِ مَا لَهَا مِنْ قَرَارٍ} [إبراهيم: 26] "، قَالَ: «هِيَ الْحَنْظَلُ»، قَالَ شُعَيْبٌ: فَأَخْبَرْتُ بِذَلِكَ أَبَا الْعَالِيَةِ فَقَالَ: كَذَلِكَ كُنَّا نَسْمَعُ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that a tray of dates was presented to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), on which there were half-ripe dates. He (peace and blessings be upon him) recited (this verse of Surah Ibrahim): "A good word is like a good tree, whose root is firm and whose branches are in the sky; it gives its fruit at every time by the permission of its Lord," and said: "This refers to the date-palm." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) recited this verse: "And the example of a bad word is like a bad tree, uprooted from the surface of the earth; it has no stability," and said: "This refers to the colocynth (bitter gourd) plant." Shu'ayb (may Allah have mercy on him) relates: When I informed Abu al-'Aliyah (may Allah have mercy on him) of this, he said (confirming it): We too used to hear it this way.
