And Ibn Mas'ud said, 'The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) narrated to us, and he is the truthful, the trustworthy.' And a person's sibling said, 'I heard a word from Abdullah.' And Hudhaifah said, 'The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) narrated two hadiths to us.' And Abu Al-'Aliyah said, 'Ibn 'Abbas narrated to me from the Prophet (pbuh) regarding what He narrates from his Lord.' And Anas said, 'The Prophet (pbuh) narrated to me from his Lord, the Mighty and Majestic.' And Abu Hurayrah said, 'The Prophet (pbuh) narrated to me from your Lord, the Mighty and Majestic.'"

وَقَالَ لَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ كَانَ عِنْدَ ابْنِ عُيَيْنَةَ حَدَّثَنَا وَأَخْبَرَنَا وَأَنْبَأَنَا وَسَمِعْتُ وَاحِدًا. وَقَالَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ حَدَّثَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ الصَّادِقُ الْمَصْدُوقُ. وَقَالَ شَقِيقٌ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَلِمَةً. وَقَالَ حُذَيْفَةُ حَدَّثَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَدِيثَيْنِ. وَقَالَ أَبُو الْعَالِيَةِ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِيمَا يَرْوِي عَنْ رَبِّهِ. وَقَالَ أَنَسٌ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ يَرْوِيهِ عَنْ رَبِّهِ ﷻ. وَقَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ يَرْوِيهِ عَنْ رَبِّكُمْ ﷻ.

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."  

البخاري:٦١حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِنَّ مِنَ الشَّجَرِ شَجَرَةً لاَ يَسْقُطُ وَرَقُهَا وَإِنَّهَا مَثَلُ الْمُسْلِمِ فَحَدِّثُونِي مَا هِيَ فَوَقَعَ النَّاسُ فِي شَجَرِ الْبَوَادِي قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ وَوَقَعَ فِي نَفْسِي أَنَّهَا النَّخْلَةُ فَاسْتَحْيَيْتُ ثُمَّ قَالُوا حَدِّثْنَا مَا هِيَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ هِيَ النَّخْلَةُ
