ahmad:12544ʿAbd al-Ṣamad > Ḥammād > Thābit > Anas

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ heard some noises and said, "What is this?" They said, "They are pollinating the palm trees." He said, "If they left it and did not pollinate it, it would be better." So they left it and did not pollinate it. Then a bunch of dates became inferior, so the Prophet ﷺ went out and said, "What is wrong with you?" They said, "We left it based on what you said." So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "If it is something worldly, you are more knowledgeable about it. But if it is something concerning your religion, then come to me."

سَمِعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَصْوَاتًا فَقَالَ مَا هَذَا؟ قَالُوا يُلَقِّحُونَ النَّخْلَ فَقَالَ لَوْ تَرَكُوهُ فَلَمْ يُلَقِّحُوهُ لَصَلُحَ فَتَرَكُوهُ فَلَمْ يُلَقِّحُوهُ فَخَرَجَ شِيصًا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مَا لَكُمْ؟ قَالُوا تَرَكُوهُ لِمَا قُلْتَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا كَانَ شَيْءٌ مِنْ أَمْرِ دُنْيَاكُمْ فَأَنْتُمْ أَعْلَمُ بِهِ فَإِذَا كَانَ مِنْ أَمْرِ دِينِكُمْ فَإِلَيَّ
