[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Verily, the example of a believer is like a tree that does not shed its leaves, so what is it?" They said, "We do not know." I intended to say, "It is the date palm tree," but I felt shy. Then the Prophet ﷺ said, "It is the date palm tree."  

أحمد:٤٨٥٩ – حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ أَخْبَرَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ مُحَارِبِ بْنِ دِثَارٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ مَثَلَ الْمُؤْمِنِ مَثَلُ شَجَرَةٍ لَا يَسْقُطُ وَرَقُهَا فَمَا هِيَ؟ قَالَ فَقَالُوا وَقَالُوا فَلَمْ يُصِيبُواوَأَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَقُولَ هِيَ النَّخْلَةُ فَاسْتَحْيَيْتُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ هِيَ النَّخْلَةُ

Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Amongst the trees, there is a tree, the leaves of which do not fall and is like a Muslim. Tell me the name of that tree." Everybody started thinking about the trees of the desert areas. And I thought of the date-palm tree but felt shy to answer the others then asked, "What is that tree, O Messenger of Allah ﷺ ?" He replied, "It is the date-palm tree." (Using translation from Bukhārī 61)  

الكبرى للنسائي:١١١٩٧ – أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ مِنَ الشَّجَرِ شَجَرَةً لَا يَسْقُطُ وَرَقُهَا وَإِنَّهَا مِثْلُ الْمُؤْمِنِ فَحَدِّثُونِي مَا هِيَ؟» قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ فَوَقَعَ النَّاسُ فِي شَجَرِ الْبَوَادِي وَوَقَعَ فِي نَفْسِي أَنَّهَا النَّخْلَةُ فَاسْتَحْيَيْتُ فَقَالُوا حَدِّثْنَا مَا هِيَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ «هِيَ النَّخْلَةُ»
