[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah say, "I am the tree, and Fatimah is its branch, and Ali is its sap, and Al-Hasan and Al-Husayn are its fruits, and our Shi'a are its leaves, and the root of the tree is in the Garden of Eden, and the rest of it is in the rest of Paradise." This is an unusual text, and even if that is the case, Isaac Al-Dabari is reliable, and Abdul Razzaq and his father and grandfather are truthful, and the port of the servant of Abdul Rahman ibn Auf has met the Prophet and heard from him, and Allah knows best. This statement was made by a human being other than the ruler, and it is only the opinion of a misguided follower.  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «أَنَا الشَّجَرَةُ وَفَاطِمَةُ فَرْعُهَا وَعَلِيٌّ لِقَاحُهَا وَالْحَسَنُ وَالْحُسَيْنُ ثَمَرَتُهَا وَشِيعَتُنَا وَرَقُهَا وَأَصْلُ الشَّجَرَةِ فِي جُنَّةِ عَدْنٍ وَسَائِرُ ذَلِكَ فِي سَائِرِ الْجَنَّةِ» هَذَا مَتْنٌ شَاذُّ وَإِنْ كَانَ كَذَلِكَ فَإِنَّ إِسْحَاقَ الدَّبَرِيُّ صَدُوقٌ وَعَبْدٌ الرَّزَّاقِ وَأَبُوهُ وَجَدُهُ ثِقَاتٌ وَمِينَاءُ مَوْلَى عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ قَدْ أَدْرَكَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَسَمِعَ مِنْهُ وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ ما قال هذا بشر سوى الحاكم وإنما ذا تابعي ساقط
