It is narrated from Sayyiduna Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he had some palm trees in the garden of a man of the Ansar, and the man had his family with him. Whenever Sayyiduna Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) entered the garden, it was difficult and burdensome for that man. He asked Sayyiduna Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) to sell the trees, but Sayyiduna Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) refused; he asked him to exchange them, but he refused. He came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and mentioned it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) also said to Sayyiduna Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him): "Sell them," but Sayyiduna Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) refused. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) asked him for them in exchange, and Sayyiduna Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) refused again. He said: "Then gift them to me, and you will have such and such," something to encourage him, but he refused. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You are one who causes harm." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said to the Ansari: "Go and uproot his palm trees."
