Sunan Ibn Majah 2470
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُوسَى، عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ مُوسَى بْنَ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ مَرَرْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي نَخْلٍ فَرَأَى قَوْمًا يُلَقِّحُونَ النَّخْلَ فَقَالَ " مَا يَصْنَعُ هَؤُلاَءِ " . قَالُوا يَأْخُذُونَ مِنَ الذَّكَرِ فَيَجْعَلُونَهُ فِي الأُنْثَى . قَالَ " مَا أَظُنُّ ذَاكَ يُغْنِي شَيْئًا " . فَبَلَغَهُمْ فَتَرَكُوهُ وَنَزَلُوا عَنْهَا فَبَلَغَ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ " إِنَّمَا هُوَ ظَنٌّ إِنْ كَانَ يُغْنِي شَيْئًا فَاصْنَعُوهُ فَإِنَّمَا أَنَا بَشَرٌ مِثْلُكُمْ وَإِنَّ الظَّنَّ يُخْطِئُ وَيُصِيبُ وَلَكِنْ مَا قُلْتُ لَكُمْ قَالَ اللَّهُ فَلَنْ أَكْذِبَ عَلَى اللَّهِ " .
Ali ibn Muhammad narrated to us: Ubaydullah ibn Musa narrated to us, from Israil, from Simak, who heard Musa ibn Talhah ibn Ubaydullah relate from his father, who said: I was passing among date palms with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when he saw some people pollinating the palms. He asked what they were doing. They said they took pollen from the male and placed it in the female. He said, “I do not think that will do any good.” This reached them, so they stopped and left it. When the Prophet ﷺ was told, he said, “That was only an opinion. If it does any good, then do it. I am only a human being like you. An opinion may be right or wrong. But when I convey to you something Allah has said, I will never lie about Allah.”
