Mujahid said: I was with Sayyiduna Ibn Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both, on the road to Madinah. I never heard him narrate any hadith from the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, except that he said: I was with the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, when a cluster of dates was brought to him. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Among the trees, there is a tree whose example is like that of a Muslim." I thought to say that it is the date palm tree, but I saw that I was the youngest, so I remained silent. Sayyiduna Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, said: If only you had said it, and I would have attained this honor and distinction.
