Amr bin Aws (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I saw an old man of Banu Thaqif whose fields had been spoiled by a lote tree. I said: Why do you not cut it down? The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade cutting (it) except for the sake of crops. He said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Whoever cuts down a lote tree, except for the sake of crops, punishment will be poured upon him." So I dislike cutting it, whether for the crops or otherwise.
This is another chain for Amr bin Aws, besides his narration from Urwah, if Ibrahim bin Yazid preserved it accurately.
