I want you -asws to go with me to its owner regarding it’. He -asws said to him: ‘Speak’. قَالَ إِنِّي سَاكِنٌ فِي دَارٍ لِرَجُلٍ فِيهَا نَخْلَةٌ وَ إِنَّهُ يَهِيجُ الرِّيحُ فَيَسْقُطُ مِنْ ثَمَرِهَا بَلْحٌ وَ بُسْرٌ وَ رُطَبٌ وَ تَمْرٌ وَ يَصْعَدُ الطَّيْرُ فَيُلْقِي مِنْهُ وَ أَنَا آكُلُ مِنْهُ وَ يَأْكُلُونَ مِنْهُ الصِّبْيَانُ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ نَبْخَسَهَا بِقَصَبٍ أَوْ نَرْمِيَهَا بِحَجَرٍ فَاسْأَلْهُ أَنْ يَجْعَلَنِي فِي حِلٍّ He said, ‘I am settled in the house of a man wherein is a palm tree, and the wind stirs, so its fruit falls from it, unripe, and partially ripe, and ripe, and dried dates; and the bird ascends, and it throws from it, and I eat from it, and the children also eat from it, from without breaking it with a stick or throwing stones at it.
So, ask him (owner) if he would make me to be in permission’. قَالَ انْهَضْ بِنَا فَنَهَضْتُ مَعَهُ فَجِئْنَا إِلَى الرَّجُلِ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع فَرَحَّبَ وَ فَرِحَ بِهِ وَ سُرَّ وَ قَالَ فِيمَا جِئْتَ يَا أَبَا الْحَسَنِ قَالَ جِئْتُكَ فِي حَاجَةٍ قَالَ تُقْضَى إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ فَمَا هِيَ He -asws said: ‘Get up with us!’ I (also) got up with him -asws and we went to the man. Amir Al-Momineen Ali -asws Bin Abu Talib -asws greeted unto him.
He was welcoming and rejoiced with him -asws and was cheerful, and said, ‘What have you -asws come for, O Abu Al-Hassan -asws ?’ He -asws said: ‘I -asws have come regarding a need’. He said, ‘It shall be fulfilled, if Allah -azwj so Desires!
So, what is it?’ قَالَ هَذَا الرَّجُلُ سَاكِنٌ فِي دَارٍ لَكَ فِي مَوْضِعِ كَذَا ذَكَرَ أَنَّ فِيهَا نَخْلَةً فَإِنَّهُ يَهِيجُ الرِّيحُ فَيَسْقُطُ مِنْهَا بَلْحٌ وَ بُسْرٌ وَ رُطَبٌ وَ تَمْرٌ وَ يَصْعَدُ الطَّيْرُ فَيُلْقِي مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ مِنْ غَيْرِ حَجَرٍ يَرْمِيهَا بِهِ أَوْ قَصَبَةٍ يَبْخَسُهَا فَاجْعَلْهُ فِي حِلٍّ فَتَأَبَّى عَنْ ذَلِكَ He -asws said: ‘This man is settled in such and such house of yours, wherein is a palm tree.
The wind stirs, so its fruit falls from it, unripe, and partially ripe, and ripe, and dried dates; and the bird ascends, and it throws similar to that from without a stone having been thrown with or a stick to break it. So, make him to be in permissibility’. He refused from that.
