ahmad:23175ʿAbd al-Razzāq > Dāwud b. Qays al-Ṣanʿānī > ʿAbdullāh b. Wahb from his father > Fannaj

[Machine] I was working in Deynabad and treating people there when Yazid bin Umayyah was appointed as the ruler of Yemen. He came with companions of the Prophet ﷺ. A man who had come with him came to me while I was irrigating the crops, and in his hand he had a walnut. He sat on a water canal, breaking the walnut and eating it. Then he pointed to a place and said, "Persian, come here." I approached him, and the man said to me, "Persian, will you guarantee me and plant a tree from this walnut on this water canal?" I asked him, "What good will that do for me?" He replied, "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, 'Whoever plants a tree and takes care of it, patiently waiting for it to bear fruit, will have a reward from Allah for every fruit that is eaten from it.'" I asked him, "Did you hear this from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?" He replied, "Yes." So I said to him, "I guarantee it."  

أحمد:٢٣١٧٥حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أَخْبَرَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ الصَّنْعَانِيُّ حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ حَدَّثَنِي فَنَّجُ قَالَ

كُنْتُ أَعْمَلُ فِي الدَّيْنَبَاذِ وَأُعَالِجُ فِيهِ فَقَدِمَ يَعْلَى بْنُ أُمَيَّةَأَمِيرًا عَلَى الْيَمَنِ وَجَاءَ مَعَهُ رِجَالٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَجَاءَنِي رَجُلٌ مِمَّنْ قَدِمَ مَعَهُ وَأَنَا فِي الزَّرْعِ أَصْرِفُ الْمَاءَ فِي الزَّرْعِ وَمَعَهُ فِي كُمِّهِ جَوْزٌ فَجَلَسَ عَلَى سَاقِيَةٍ مِنَ الْمَاءِ وَهُوَ يَكْسِرُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ الْجَوْزِ وَيَأْكُلُهُ ثُمَّ أَشَارَ إِلَى فَنَّجَ فَقَالَ يَا فَارِسِيُّ هَلُمَّ فَدَنَوْتُ مِنْهُ فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ لِفَنَّجَ أَتَضْمَنُ لِي وَأَغْرِسُ مِنْ هَذَا الْجَوْزِ عَلَى هَذَا الْمَاءِ فَقَالَ لَهُ فَنَّجُ مَا يَنْفَعُنِي ذَلِكَ قَالَ فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ بِأُذُنَيَّ هَاتَيْنِ مَنْ نَصَبَ شَجَرَةً فَصَبَرَ عَلَى حِفْظِهَا وَالْقِيَامِ عَلَيْهَا حَتَّى تُثْمِرَ كَانَ لَهُ فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ يُصَابُ مِنْ ثَمَرِهَا صَدَقَةٌ عِنْدَ اللهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ فَنَّجُ أَنْتَ سَمِعْتَ هَذَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ فَقَالَ فَنَّجُ فَأَنَا أَضْمَنُهَا قَالَ فَمِنْهَا جَوْزُ الدَّيْنَبَاذِ

ahmad:16586ʿAbd al-Razzāq > Dāwud b. Qays al-Ṣanʿānī > ʿAbdullāh b. Wahb from his father > Fannaj

[Machine] I used to work in Daynabaz and treat people there. Then Yazid bin Umayyah was appointed as the governor of Yemen, and he came with men from the companions of the Prophet ﷺ . A man who had come with him approached me while I was irrigating the crops, and he had a walnut in his hand. He sat on a water channel, breaking the walnut and eating it. Then he pointed towards a bucket and said, "Persian man, come here." So I approached him, and the man said to me, "O Persian, can you plant this walnut seed in this water?" Finanjah replied, "What benefit will I get from that?" The man said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, 'Whoever plants a tree and takes care of it until it bears fruit, then every fruit that comes from it is a charity in the sight of Allah.' " So Finanjah asked him, "Did you hear this from the Messenger of Allah?" The man replied, "Yes." Finanjah then said, "I will guarantee it." The man said, "From it will be the walnut of Daynabaz."
