It is also narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: The example of a believer is like a tree whose leaves do not fall. Which tree could that be? Sayyiduna Ibn Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, says: People mentioned the names of various trees, but they could not give the correct answer. I intended to say that it is the date palm tree, but I hesitated. Finally, the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: It is the date palm tree.

It is also narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: The example of a believer is like a tree whose leaves do not fall. People began to speculate about the various trees of the forest; it occurred to me that it is the date palm tree, but due to being young, I hesitated to speak. Finally, the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: It is the date palm tree. Ibn Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, says: I mentioned this to Sayyiduna Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, so he said: Son! What prevented you from speaking? By Allah! If you had said this there, it would have been more beloved to me today than anything else.

It is narrated from Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Aisha! The people of the house in which there are no dates are hungry.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah that people were picking the fruit of the pilu tree.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Talha (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I passed by an orchard in Madinah Munawwarah with the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he saw that people were placing the pollen of one date palm onto another. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) inquired, "What are these people doing?" Talha (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "They are placing the male pollen onto the female date palm to increase its yield." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I think there is no benefit in this." When this statement of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) reached those people, they abandoned this practice and came down from the trees, and that year the date palms did not bear fruit. When this was reported to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he said: "That was merely my own opinion. If this practice benefits you, then do it. I am only a human being like you, and my opinion can be right or wrong. However, if I convey to you something from Allah, then I would never lie about Allah."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If the Day of Judgment is established and one of you has a small date palm sapling in his hand, if he is able to plant it before standing up, then he must certainly do so.
