Arabic hadith text
حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شَبَابَةُ بْنُ سَوَّارٍ أَبُو عَمْرٍو الْفَزَارِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ الشَّجَرَةَ، ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُهَا بَعْدُ فَلَمْ أَعْرِفْهَا. قَالَ مَحْمُودٌ ثُمَّ أُنْسِيتُهَا بَعْدُ.
Translation
I saw the tree, then later came to it again and did not recognize it. Maḥmūd said: Then I forgot it afterward.
Translation notes
The witness says he could not identify the tree when he later returned; Mahmud adds that it was subsequently forgotten.
