Sunan Ibn Majah 2299 (Book 12, Hadith 163) #31651
Eating From What Falls From Date-Palm Trees

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ taught a young boy not to throw stones at date-palm trees, but to eat from what falls from them.

It was narrated that Rafi' bin 'Amr Al-Ghifari said: "When I was a boy, I used to throw stones at our date-palm trees"1 - or he said: "the date-palm trees of the Ansar". I was brought to the Prophet and he said: 'O boy' - (one of the narrators) Ibn Kasib said: He said: 'O my son - why are you throwing stones at the date-palm trees?' I said: 'So I can eat'. He said: 'Do not throw stones at the date-palm trees. Eat from what falls to the ground from them'. Then he patted me on the head and said: 'O Allah give him enough to eat'."
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ، وَيَعْقُوبُ بْنُ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ كَاسِبٍ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا مُعْتَمِرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ أَبِي الْحَكَمِ الْغِفَارِيَّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَتْنِي جَدَّتِي، عَنْ عَمِّ، أَبِيهَا رَافِعِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو الْغِفَارِيِّ قَالَ كُنْتُ وَأَنَا غُلاَمٌ، أَرْمِي نَخْلَنَا - أَوْ قَالَ نَخْلَ الأَنْصَارِ - فَأُتِيَ بِيَ النَّبِيَّ ـ ـ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ يَا غُلاَمُ - وَقَالَ ابْنُ كَاسِبٍ فَقَالَ يَا بُنَىَّ - لِمَ تَرْمِي النَّخْلَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ قُلْتُ آكُلُ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ فَلاَ تَرْمِي النَّخْلَ وَكُلْ مِمَّا يَسْقُطُ فِي أَسَافِلِهَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ ثُمَّ مَسَحَ رَأْسِي وَقَالَ ‏"‏ اللَّهُمَّ أَشْبِعْ بَطْنَهُ
