"When I was a boy, I used to throw stones at our date-palm trees"[1] - or he said: "the date-palm trees of the Ansar." I was brought to the Prophet ﷺ and he said: 'O boy' - (one of the narrators) Ibn Kasib said: He said: 'O my son - why are you throwing stones at the date-palm trees?' I said: 'So I can eat.' He said: 'Do not throw stones at the date-palm trees. Eat from what falls to the ground from them.' Then he patted me on the head and said: 'O Allah give him enough to eat.'”  

كُنْتُ وَأَنَا غُلاَمٌ أَرْمِي نَخْلَنَا أَوْ قَالَ نَخْلَ الأَنْصَارِ فَأُتِيَ بِيَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا غُلاَمُ وَقَالَ ابْنُ كَاسِبٍ فَقَالَ يَا بُنَىَّ لِمَ تَرْمِي النَّخْلَ قَالَ قُلْتُ آكُلُ قَالَ فَلاَ تَرْمِي النَّخْلَ وَكُلْ مِمَّا يَسْقُطُ فِي أَسَافِلِهَا قَالَ ثُمَّ مَسَحَ رَأْسِي وَقَالَ اللَّهُمَّ أَشْبِعْ بَطْنَهُ  

I was a boy. I used to throw stones at the palm-trees of the Ansar. So I was brought to the Prophet ﷺ who said: O boy, why do you throw stones at the palm-trees? I said: eat (dates). He said: Do not throw stones at the palm trees, but eat what falls beneath them. He then wiped his head and said: O Allah, fill his belly. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2622)   

كُنْتُ وَأَنَا غُلَامٌ أَرْمِي نَخْلًا لِلْأَنْصَارِ فَأُتِيَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَقِيلَ إِنَّ هَاهُنَا غُلَامًا يَرْمِي نَخْلَنَا فَأُتِيَ بِي إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا غُلَامُ لِمَ تَرْمِي النَّخْلَ؟ قَالَ قُلْتُ آكُلُ قَالَ فَلَا تَرْمِ النَّخْلَ وَكُلْ مَا يَسْقُطُ فِي أَسَافِلِهَا ثُمَّ مَسَحَ رَأْسِي وَقَالَ اللهُمَّ أَشْبِعْ بَطْنَهُ

كُنْتُ أَرْمِي نَخْلًا لِلْأَنْصَارِ وَأَنَا غُلَامٌ فَرَآنِي النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَقَالَ «يَا غُلَامُ لِمَ تَرْمِي النَّخْلَ؟» فَقُلْتُ آكُلُ قَالَ «فَلَا تَرْمِ النَّخْلَ وَكُلْ مِمَّا يَسْقُطُ فِي أَسْفَلِهَا» ثُمَّ مَسَحَ رَأْسِي وَقَالَ «اللَّهُمَّ أَشْبِعْ بَطْنَهُ» سكت عنه الذهبي في التلخيص
