Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ كُهَيْلٍ عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي قَوْلِهِ { كَشَجَرَةٍ طَيِّبَةٍ } قَالَ هِيَ الَّتِي لَا تَنْفُضُ وَرَقَهَا وَظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهَا النَّخْلَةُ.
English Translation
Hajjaj told us, Sharik told us, from Salamah ibn Kuhayl, from Mujahid, from Ibn Umar, from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, concerning His saying {"like a good tree"}: he said, "It is the one that does not shed its leaves," and I thought it was the date-palm.
