حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ صَالِحٍ عَنْ أَبِي طَالُوتَ قَالَ دَخَلْتُ عَلَی أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِکٍ وَهُوَ يَأْکُلُ الْقَرْعَ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ يَا لَکِ شَجَرَةً مَا أَحَبَّکِ إِلَيَّ لِحُبِّ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِيَّاکِ قَالَ وَفِي الْبَاب عَنْ حَکِيمِ بْنِ جَابِرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَی هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ
جامع ترمذی · Hadith 1849
Narrated Abu Talut: I entered upon Anas bin Malik while he was eating gourd, and he was saying: 'O you tree! I do not like you but because of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) liked you.' He said: There is something on this topic from Hakim bin Jarir, from his father. [Abu 'Eisa said:] This Hadith is Gharib from this route.
