[Machine] From the Prophet ﷺ he said, "From the trees, a tree is equal to a believer." So I wanted to say that it is the palm tree, then I looked at the faces of the people and found that I am the youngest among them. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "It is the palm tree."  

الطبراني:١٣٥١٣حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عُمَرَ الضَّبِّيُّ ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَهَّابِ الْجُمَحِيُّ ثنا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بِشْرٍ عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «مِنَ الشَّجَرِ لَشَجَرَةٌ كَالرَّجُلِ الْمُؤْمِنِ» فَأَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَقُولَ هِيَ النَّخْلَةُ فَنَظَرْتُ فِي وُجُوهِ الْقَوْمِ فَإِذَا أَنَا أَحْدَثُهُمْ سِنًّا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «هِيَ النَّخْلَةُ»

I was with the Prophet ﷺ while he was eating fresh dates. He said, "From the trees there is a tree which resembles a faithful believer." I wanted to say that it was the date palm, but I was the youngest among them (so I kept quiet). He added, "It is the date palm."

كُنْتُ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَهْوَ يَأْكُلُ جُمَّارًا فَقَالَ مِنَ الشَّجَرِ شَجَرَةٌ كَالرَّجُلِ الْمُؤْمِنِ فَأَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَقُولَ هِيَ النَّخْلَةُ فَإِذَا أَنَا أَحْدَثُهُمْ قَالَ هِيَ النَّخْلَةُ

[Machine] "From the Prophetﷺ that there was a hadith that we were with the Prophetﷺ and a date palm tree was brought to him, so he said, 'Indeed, among the trees there is a tree like this, similar to a Muslim man.' I intended to say, 'It is the palm tree,' but then I looked and realized that I am the youngest of the people, so I kept silent. Then the Messenger of Allahﷺ said, 'It is the palm tree.'"

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺإِلَّا حَدِيثًا كُنَّا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَأُتِيَ بِجُمَّارَةٍ فَقَالَ إِنَّ مِنَ الشَّجَرِ شَجَرَةً مَثَلُهَا كَمَثَلِ الرَّجُلِ الْمُسْلِمِ فَأَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَقُولَ هِيَ النَّخْلَةُ فَنَظَرْتُ فَإِذَا أَنَا أَصْغَرُ الْقَوْمِ فَسَكَتُّ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ هِيَ النَّخْلَةُ

[Machine] About the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in a hadith except that he said, "I was with the Prophet ﷺ , and a branch was brought to him and he said, 'From among the trees, there is a tree similar to a Muslim man.' I intended to say, 'It is the date-palm tree,' but then I looked and saw that I was the shortest among the people, so I remained silent." Umar said, "I wish you had said it, and upon me is this."
