وَعَن عبد الله بن جحش قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنْ قَطَعَ سِدْرَةً صَوَّبَ اللَّهُ رَأْسَهُ فِي النَّارِ» . رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُدَ وَقَالَ: هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ مُخْتَصَرٌ يَعْنِي: مَنْ قَطَعَ سِدْرَةً فِي فَلَاةٍ يَسْتَظِلُّ بِهَا ابْنُ السَّبِيلِ وَالْبَهَائِمُ غَشْمًا وَظُلْمًا بِغَيْرِ حَقٍّ يَكُونُ لَهُ فِيهَا صَوَّبَ الله رَأسه فِي النَّار

Abdullah ibn Jahsh reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Whoever cuts down a lote tree, Allah will cast his head into the Fire.” Abu Dawud narrated it and said: “This report is abbreviated. It means whoever wrongfully and unjustly cuts down, without right, a lote tree in open country that a traveler and animals use for shade; Allah will cast his head into the Fire.”
