Once Allah's Apostle said, "Amongst the trees there is a tree, the leaves of which do
not fall and is like a Muslim, tell me the name of that tree." Everybody started
thinking about the trees of the desert areas and I thought of the date-palm tree but
felt shy (to answer). The others asked, "O Allah's Apostle! inform us of it." He
replied, "it is the date-palm tree." I told my father what had come to my mind and
on that he said, "Had you said it I would have preferred it to such and such a thing
that I might possess." |
