While we were sitting with the Prophet, fresh dates were brought to him. The Prophet ﷺ said, "There is a tree among the trees which is as blessed as a Muslim" I thought that it was the date palm tree and intended to say, "It is the date-palm tree, O Messenger of Allah ﷺ!" but I looked behind to see that I was the tenth and youngest of ten men present there, so I kept quiet' Then the Prophet ﷺ said, "It is the datepalm tree."
بَيْنَا نَحْنُ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ جُلُوسٌ إِذْ أُتِيَ بِجُمَّارِ نَخْلَةٍ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِنَّ مِنَ الشَّجَرِ لَمَا بَرَكَتُهُ كَبَرَكَةِ الْمُسْلِمِ فَظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُ يَعْنِي النَّخْلَةَ فَأَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَقُولَ هِيَ النَّخْلَةُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ثُمَّ الْتَفَتُّ فَإِذَا أَنَا عَاشِرُ عَشَرَةٍ أَنَا أَحْدَثُهُمْ فَسَكَتُّ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ هِيَ النَّخْلَةُ
