حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيٌّ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ قَالَ لِي ابْنُ أَبِي نَجِيحٍ عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، قَالَ 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 ‏"‏.

বাংলা অনুবাদ
মুজাহিদ (রহ.) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, আমি সফরে মদিনা পর্যন্ত ইবনু ‘উমার (রাযি.)-এর সাথে ছিলাম। এ সময় তাঁকে আল্লাহর রাসূল সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম হতে একটি মাত্র হাদীস বর্ণনা করতে শুনেছি। তিনি বলেন, আমরা একদা নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম -এর নিকট ছিলাম। তখন তাঁর নিকট খেজুর গাছের (অভ্যন্তরের কোমল অংশ) মাথি আনা হল। অতঃপর তিনি বললেনঃ বৃক্ষরাজির মধ্যে এমন একটি বৃক্ষ রয়েছে, যার দৃষ্টান্ত মুসলিমের ন্যায়। তখন আমি বলতে চাইলাম যে, তা হল খেজুর বৃক্ষ, কিন্তু আমি লোকদের মাঝে বয়সে সবচাইতে ছোট ছিলাম। তাই নীরব থাকলাম। তখন নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বললেনঃ ‘সেটা হলো খেজুর বৃক্ষ।’ (৬১) (আধুনিক প্রকাশনীঃ ৭২, ইসলামিক ফাউন্ডেশনঃ)
