[Machine] "The Prophet ﷺ said, 'What tree does not drop its leaves while it is a similitude of the believer? Or (he said), the Muslim?' The people then fell into discussion about the desert tree. Ibn 'Umar said, 'I felt in myself that it was the date-palm tree.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'It is the date-palm tree.' I mentioned this to Umar and he said, 'To have said that would have been dearer to me than such and such.'"
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ مَا شَجَرَةٌ لَا يَسْقُطُ وَرَقُهَا وَهِيَ مَثَلُ الْمُؤْمِنِ؟ أَوْ قَالَ الْمُسْلِمِ قَالَ فَوَقَعَ النَّاسُ فِي شَجَرِ الْبَوَادِي قَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ وَوَقَعَ فِي نَفْسِي أَنَّهَا النَّخْلَةُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ هِيَ النَّخْلَةُ قَالَ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِعُمَرَ فَقَالَ لَأَنْ تَكُونَ قُلْتَهَا كَانَ أَحَبَّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ كَذَا وَكَذَا
