Jami at-Tirmidhi 3303 (Book 47, Hadith 355) #28952
The Date-Palm Story

SUMMARY: This hadith explains the story of how Muslims were ordered to cut down date-palms and how Allah revealed a verse in the Quran regarding it.

Hafs bin Ghiyath narrated: "Habib bin Abi Amrah narrated to us, from Sa’eed bin Jubair, from Ibn Abbas, regarding the saying of Allah, the Mighty and Sublime: What you cut down of the Linah, or you left of them standing on their trunks – he said: 'The Linah is the date-palms.’ That He might disgrace the rebellious. He said: 'They were forced from their forts.’ And they were ordered to cut down the date-pals, that caused some hesitation in their chests, so the Muslims said: "We cut some of them, and we left some of them, so let us ask the Messenger of Allah is we are to be rewarded for those that we cut down, and if we will be burdened for what we left?" So Allah Most High revealed the Ayah: What you cut down of the Linah, or you left of them standing on their trunks".

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith tells us about an incident that happened during the time of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ when he was leading his people in battle against their enemies. The Muslims were ordered to cut down date palms which caused some hesitation in their hearts as they weren't sure if they would be rewarded or punished for cutting them down. Allah then revealed a verse in the Quran which clarified that they would be rewarded for what they cut down and not punished for what they left standing on their trunks. This hadith teaches us that we should always seek guidance from Allah when we are unsure about something and have faith that He will provide us with answers to our questions. It also teaches us to be obedient to our leaders and follow orders even if it is difficult or causes hesitation in our hearts because ultimately Allah knows best and will reward us for our obedience.
