It is narrated from Abu Ja'far (may Allah have mercy on him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) in the illness in which he died: "O Ali, go and announce, from Allah and not from the Messenger, that Allah curses the one who cuts down lote trees."
All of these (narrations) are munqati' (broken) and weak, except the hadith of Ibn Jurayj, for I do not know whether Sa'id heard from Abdullah bin Hubshi or not; it is possible that he heard it, and Allah knows best. It has also been narrated with another, connected chain, if it is preserved.
