Hadith 24920

حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنَا ثَابِتٌ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ . وَهِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ : أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَمِعَ أَصْوَاتًا ، فَقَالَ : " مَا هَذِهِ الْأَصْوَاتُ ؟ " قَالُوا : النَّخْلُ يُؤَبِّرُونَهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ . فَقَالَ : " لَوْ لَمْ يَفْعَلُوا لَصَلُحَ " . فَلَمْ يُؤَبِّرُوا عَامَئِذٍ ، فَصَارَ شِيصًا ، فَذَكَرُوا ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : " إِذَا كَانَ شَيْئًا مِنْ أَمْرِ دُنْيَاكُمْ فَشَأْنَكُمْ بِهِ ، وَإِذَا كَانَ شَيْئًا مِنْ أَمْرِ دِينِكُمْ فَإِلَيَّ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that once some sounds reached the ears of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked, "What are these sounds?" People informed him that date palm grafting was taking place. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "If these people do not do grafting, perhaps it will be better for them." Consequently, the people did not do grafting that year, due to which the date crop was not good that year. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) inquired about the reason, the companions submitted that, upon your instruction, people did not do grafting. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "If it is a worldly matter of yours, then you know it better than I do, and if it is a matter of religion, then bring it to me."
