صَحِبْتُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ فَلَمْ أَسْمَعْهُ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِلاَّ حَدِيثًا وَاحِدًا، قَالَ كُنَّا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَأُتِيَ بِجُمَّارٍ فَقَالَ " إِنَّ مِنَ الشَّجَرِ شَجَرَةً مَثَلُهَا كَمَثَلِ الْمُسْلِمِ ". فَأَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَقُولَ هِيَ النَّخْلَةُ، فَإِذَا أَنَا أَصْغَرُ الْقَوْمِ فَسَكَتُّ، قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم " هِيَ النَّخْلَةُ ".

حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيٌّ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ قَالَ لِي ابْنُ أَبِي نَجِيحٍ عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، قَالَ
Translation
Mujahid ibn Jabr reported: I accompanied Ibn Umar to Medina, and I did not hear him narrate from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ except a single hadith. He said, “We were with the Prophet ﷺ when palm pith was brought to him, and he said, ‘Among the trees there is a tree whose likeness is like the likeness of the Muslim.’ I wanted to say, ‘It is the date palm,’ but I was the youngest of the people, so I kept silent. The Prophet ﷺ said, ‘It is the date palm.’”

Mudschahid ibn Dschabr berichtete: Ich begleitete Ibn Umar nach Medina, und ich hörte ihn nur einen einzigen Hadith vom Gesandten Allahs ﷺ erzählen. Er sagte: „Wir waren beim Propheten ﷺ, da wurde ihm Palmenmark gebracht, und er sagte: ‚Unter den Bäumen gibt es einen Baum, dessen Gleichnis wie das Gleichnis des Muslims ist.‘ Ich wollte sagen: ‚Es ist die Dattelpalme‘, doch da war ich der Jüngste der Leute, und so schwieg ich. Der Prophet ﷺ sagte: ‚Es ist die Dattelpalme.‘“

Mücâhid b. Cebr şöyle rivayet etti: Medine'ye kadar İbn Ömer'e (r.a.) arkadaşlık ettim. Onun Resûlullah'tan ﷺ tek bir hadis dışında bir şey anlattığını işitmedim. Şöyle dedi: “Nebî'nin ﷺ yanındaydık; ona hurma ağacının özü getirildi. ‘Ağaçlar arasında öyle bir ağaç vardır ki onun misali Müslümanın misali gibidir’ buyurdu. ‘O hurma ağacıdır’ demek istedim; fakat bir de baktım ki topluluğun en küçüğü benim, sustum. Nebî ﷺ, ‘O hurma ağacıdır’ buyurdu.”
