Translation

Ibn Umar reported: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “Among the trees there is a tree whose leaves do not fall, and it is like the Muslim. So tell me which it is.” The people's thoughts went to the trees of the desert. Abdullah said: And it occurred to me that it was the date palm, but I felt too shy (to say it). Then they said, “Tell us which it is, O Messenger of Allah.” He said, “It is the date palm.”

Ibn Umar berichtete: Der Gesandte Allahs ﷺ sagte: „Unter den Bäumen gibt es einen Baum, dessen Blätter nicht abfallen, und er ist ein Gleichnis für den Muslim. So sagt mir, welcher es ist.“ Da verfielen die Leute (in ihren Gedanken) auf die Bäume der Wüste. Abdullah sagte: Und mir kam in den Sinn, dass es die Dattelpalme ist, doch ich schämte mich (es zu sagen). Dann sagten sie: „Sag uns, welcher es ist, o Gesandter Allahs.“ Er sagte: „Es ist die Dattelpalme.“

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. Abdullah dedi ki: İçimden onun hurma ağacı olduğu geçti, fakat (söylemeye) utandım. Sonra, “Ey Allah'ın Resûlü, onun hangisi olduğunu bize sen söyle” dediler. “O, hurma ağacıdır” buyurdu.

Translator’s note: Abdullah, İbn Ömer'dir.
