حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ ح و حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رُمْحٍ أَخْبَرَنَا اللَّيْثُ عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ دَخَلَ عَلَی أُمِّ مُبَشِّرٍ الْأَنْصَارِيَّةِ فِي نَخْلٍ لَهَا فَقَالَ لَهَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْ غَرَسَ هَذَا النَّخْلَ أَمُسْلِمٌ أَمْ کَافِرٌ فَقَالَتْ بَلْ مُسْلِمٌ فَقَالَ لَا يَغْرِسُ مُسْلِمٌ غَرْسًا وَلَا يَزْرَعُ زَرْعًا فَيَأْکُلَ مِنْهُ إِنْسَانٌ وَلَا دَابَّةٌ وَلَا شَيْئٌ إِلَّا کَانَتْ لَهُ صَدَقَةٌ
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 3969
Jabir (Allah be pleased with him) reported Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as saying: Never does a Muslim plants a tree except that he has the reward of charity for him, for what is eaten out of that is charity; what is stolen out of that, what the beasts eat out of that, what the birds eat out of that is charity for him. (In short) none incurs a loss to him but it becomes a charity on his part.
