حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ وَأَبُو بَکْرٍ ابْنَا أَبِي شَيْبَةَ وَهَذَا لَفْظُ أَبِي بَکْرٍ عَنْ مُعْتَمِرِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ أَبِي حَکَمٍ الْغِفَارِيَّ يَقُولُ حَدَّثَتْنِي جَدَّتِي عَنْ عَمِّ أَبِي رَافِعِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو الْغِفَارِيِّ قَالَ کُنْتُ غُلَامًا أَرْمِي نَخْلَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَأُتِيَ بِي النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ يَا غُلَامُ لِمَ تَرْمِي النَّخْلَ قَالَ آکُلُ قَالَ فَلَا تَرْمِ النَّخْلَ وَکُلْ مِمَّا يَسْقُطُ فِي أَسْفَلِهَا ثُمَّ مَسَحَ رَأْسَهُ فَقَالَ اللَّهُمَّ أَشْبِعْ بَطْنَهُ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 2622
Narrated The uncle of Abu Rafi ibn Amr al-Ghifari: I was a boy. I used to throw stones at the palm-trees of the Ansar. So I was brought to the Prophet ﷺ who said: O boy, why do you throw stones at the palm-trees? I said: eat (dates). He said: Do not throw stones at the palm trees, but eat what falls beneath them. He then wiped his head and said: O Allah, fill his belly.
