I was a boy. I used to throw stones at the palm-trees of the Ansar. So I was brought to the Prophet ﷺ who said: O boy, why do you throw stones at the palm-trees? I said: eat (dates). He said: Do not throw stones at the palm trees, but eat what falls beneath them. He then wiped his head and said: O Allah, fill his belly. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2622)
كُنْتُ أَرْمِي نَخْلًا لِلْأَنْصَارِ وَأَنَا غُلَامٌ فَرَآنِي النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَقَالَ «يَا غُلَامُ لِمَ تَرْمِي النَّخْلَ؟» فَقُلْتُ آكُلُ قَالَ «فَلَا تَرْمِ النَّخْلَ وَكُلْ مِمَّا يَسْقُطُ فِي أَسْفَلِهَا» ثُمَّ مَسَحَ رَأْسِي وَقَالَ «اللَّهُمَّ أَشْبِعْ بَطْنَهُ» سكت عنه الذهبي في التلخيص
