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
