I asked Hisham bin Urwa about cutting down the lote-tree, while he was leaning against the palace of Urwa. He replied, "Do you see these doors and door-panels? They are made from the lote-trees of Urwa. Urwa used to cut them from his own land," and he said, "There is no harm in it."Humayd added that Hisham said, "Iraqi, have you come to me with an innovation?"I said, "The innovation comes from your side. I heard someone in Mecca say that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ cursed whoever cuts down the lote-tree."He then continued with the meaning of the report.
حدثنا عبيد الله بن عمر بن ميسرة وحميد بن مسعدة قالا
سألت هشام بن عروة عن قطع السدر وهو مستند إلى قصر عروة فقال أترى هذه الأبواب والمصاريع إنما هي من سدر عروة كان عروة يقطعه من أرضه وقال لا بأس به زاد حميد فقال هي يا عراقي جئتني ببدعة قال قلت إنما البدعة من قبلكم سمعت من يقول بمكة لعن رسول الله ﷺ من قطع السدر ثم ساق معناه
