الْحَيَاءِ فِي الْعِلْمِ

Modesty in (seeking) knowledge

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " إِنَّ مِنَ الشَّجَرِ شَجَرَةً لاَ يَسْقُطُ وَرَقُهَا، وَهِيَ مَثَلُ الْمُسْلِمِ، حَدِّثُونِي مَا هِيَ ". فَوَقَعَ النَّاسُ فِي شَجَرِ الْبَادِيَةِ، وَوَقَعَ فِي نَفْسِي أَنَّهَا النَّخْلَةُ. قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ فَاسْتَحْيَيْتُ. فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أَخْبِرْنَا بِهَا. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " هِيَ النَّخْلَةُ ". قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ فَحَدَّثْتُ أَبِي بِمَا وَقَعَ فِي نَفْسِي فَقَالَ لأَنْ تَكُونَ قُلْتَهَا أَحَبُّ إِلَىَّ مِنْ أَنْ يَكُونَ لِي كَذَا وَكَذَا.

Translation

Ibn Umar reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “Among the trees there is a tree whose leaves do not fall, and it is like the Muslim. Tell me which it is.” The people's thoughts went to the trees of the desert, and it occurred to me that it was the date palm. Abdullah said: But I felt shy. Then they said, “O Messenger of Allah, tell us which it is.” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “It is the date palm.” Abdullah said: I told my father what had occurred to me, and he said, “That you had said it would be dearer to me than to have such and such.”

Translator’s note: Abdullah is Ibn Umar; his father is Umar ibn al-Khattab.

Ibn Umar berichtete, dass der Gesandte Allahs ﷺ sagte: „Unter den Bäumen gibt es einen Baum, dessen Blätter nicht abfallen, und er ist ein Gleichnis für den Muslim. Sagt mir, welcher es ist.“ Da verfielen die Leute (in ihren Gedanken) auf die Bäume der Wüste, und mir kam in den Sinn, dass es die Dattelpalme ist. Abdullah sagte: Doch ich schämte mich. Da sagten sie: „O Gesandter Allahs, sag uns, welcher es ist.“ Da sagte der Gesandte Allahs ﷺ: „Es ist die Dattelpalme.“ Abdullah sagte: Ich erzählte meinem Vater, was mir in den Sinn gekommen war, und er sagte: „Dass du es gesagt hättest, wäre mir lieber, als das und das zu besitzen.“

Translator’s note: Abdullah ist Ibn Umar, sein Vater Umar ibn al-Chattab.

İbn Ömer (r.a.) şöyle rivayet etti: Resûlullah ﷺ şöyle buyurdu: “Ağaçlar arasında öyle bir ağaç vardır ki yaprağı dökülmez; o, Müslümanın misalidir. Bana onun hangisi olduğunu söyleyin.” İnsanların aklı çöl ağaçlarına gitti; benim de içimden onun hurma ağacı olduğu geçti. Abdullah dedi ki: Fakat utandım. (Orada bulunanlar) “Ey Allah'ın Resûlü, onu bize haber ver” dediler. Resûlullah ﷺ, “O, hurma ağacıdır” buyurdu. Abdullah dedi ki: İçimden geçeni babama anlattım. Babam, “Onu söylemiş olman, benim için şöyle şöyle şeylere sahip olmaktan daha sevimlidir” dedi.

Translator’s note: Abdullah, İbn Ömer'dir; babası Ömer b. Hattâb'dır.
