Hadith #448
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ سَمِعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَصْوَاتًا فَقَالَ مَا هَذَا قَالُوا يُلَقِّحُونَ النَّخْلَ فَقَالَ لَوْ تَرَكُوهُ فَلَمْ يُلَقِّ
حُوهُ لَصَلُحَ فَتَرَكُوهُ فَلَمْ يُلَقِّحُوهُ فَخَرَجَ شِيصًا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا لَكُمْ قَالُوا تَرَكُوهُ لِمَا قُلْتَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا كَانَ شَيْءٌ مِنْ أَمْرِ دُنْيَاكُمْ فَأَنْتُمْ أَعْلَمُ بِهِ فَإِذَا كَانَ مِنْ أَمْرِ دِينِكُمْ فَإِلَيَّ

Abd al-Samad narrated to us, Hammad narrated to us, from Thabit, from Anas (رضي الله عنه) who said: the Messenger of Allah ﷺ heard sounds and asked: 'What is this?' They said: 'They are pollinating the date palms.' He said: 'If they were to leave them without pollinating, they would have turned out fine.' So they left them, and the dates turned out shriveled. the Prophet ﷺ passed by and asked: 'What happened to your palms?' They said: 'You said such-and-such.' He said: 'You know better about your worldly affairs.'
