Olive is a blessed tree
Tirmidhi's Shama'il 157 — Olive is a blessed tree
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ مُوسَى قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «كُلُوا الزَّيْتَ وَادَّهِنُوا بِهِ؛ فَإِنَّهُ مِنْ شَجَرَةٍ مُبَارَكَةٍ» قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى: «وَعَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ كَانَ يَضْطَرِبُ فِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ فَرُبَّمَا أَسْنَدَهُ، وَرُبَّمَا أَرْسَلَهُ»
Ameer al-Mu'mineen Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Eat olive oil (by mixing it in your food) and apply it (to your body), for it is from a blessed tree (its fruit)." Abu Isa al-Tirmidhi (may Allah have mercy on him) says: In the chain of this hadith, the narrator 'Abdur Razzaq is inconsistent; sometimes he narrates it as musnad and sometimes as mursal.
