ذِكْرُ الْإِخْبَارِ عَمَّا تُشْبِهُ شَجَرَةُ طُوبَى مِنْ أَشْجَارِ هَذِهِ الدُّنْيَا
[Machine] He heard Utbah ibn Abdus-Salam saying, "An Arab man came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and asked, 'What is the fruit of Paradise?' He said, 'There is a tree in it called Tuba.' The man asked, 'Which of our trees does it resemble?' He said, 'It does not resemble any tree on earth, but have you been to Sham (Syria)?' The man replied, 'No, O Messenger of Allah.' He said, 'There is a tree in Sham called al-Jumayzah which grows tall and then its branches spread upward.' The man asked, 'How big is its trunk?' He said, 'If you were to travel from your land with a camel's saddle from your people, you would not reach its trunk until its neck would break."
أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عُتْبَةَ بْنَ عَبْدٍ السُّلَمِيَّ يَقُولُ قَامَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ مَا فَاكِهَةُ الْجَنَّةِ؟ قَالَ «فِيهَا شَجَرَةٌ تُدْعَى طُوبَى» فَقَالَ أَيُّ شَجَرِنَا تُشْبِهُ قَالَ «لَيْسَ تُشْبِهُ شَجَرًا مِنْ شَجَرِ أَرْضِكَ وَلَكِنْ أَتَيْتَ الشَّامَ؟ » قَالَ لَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ «وَإِنَّهَا شَجَرَةٌ بِالشَّامِ تُدْعَى الْجُمَيْزَةَ تَشْتَدُّ عَلَى سَاقٍ ثُمَّ يُنْشَرُ أَعْلَاهَا» قَالَ مَا عِظَمُ أَصْلِهَا؟ قَالَ «لَوِ ارْتَحَلْتَ جَذَعَةً مِنْ إِبِلِ أَهْلِكَ مَا أَحَطْتَ بِأَصْلِهَا حَتَّى تَنْكَسِرَ تُرْقُوَتَاهَا هَرَمًا»
