The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I know of a tree that is as beneficial as the believer, one whose leaves do not fall."Ibn Umar said, "I wanted to say that it is the date palm, but I was too shy to speak in front of Umar."Then I later heard him say, "It is the date palm."
حدثنا أسود حدثنا شريك سمعت سلمة بن كهيل يذكر عن مجاهد
قال رسول الله ﷺ إني لأعلم شجرة ينتفع بها مثل المؤمن هي التي لا ينفض ورقها قال ابن عمر أردت أن أقول هي النخلة ففرقت من عمر ثم سمعته بعد يقول هي النخلة
