The imam putting a question to his companions to test their knowledge

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " إِنَّ مِنَ الشَّجَرِ شَجَرَةً لاَ يَسْقُطُ وَرَقُهَا، وَإِنَّهَا مَثَلُ الْمُسْلِمِ، حَدِّثُونِي مَا هِيَ ". قَالَ فَوَقَعَ النَّاسُ فِي شَجَرِ الْبَوَادِي. قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ فَوَقَعَ فِي نَفْسِي أَنَّهَا النَّخْلَةُ، ثُمَّ قَالُوا حَدِّثْنَا مَا هِيَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ " هِيَ النَّخْلَةُ ".

Ibn Umar reported: The Prophet 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.” He said: The people's thoughts went to the trees of the desert. Abdullah said: It occurred to me that it was the date palm. Then they said, “Tell us which it is, O Messenger of Allah.” He said, “It is the date palm.”

Ibn Umar berichtete: Der Prophet 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.“ Er sagte: Da verfielen die Leute (in ihren Gedanken) auf die Bäume der Wüste. Abdullah sagte: Da kam mir in den Sinn, dass es die Dattelpalme ist. Dann sagten sie: „Sag uns, welcher es ist, o Gesandter Allahs.“ Er sagte: „Es ist die Dattelpalme.“
