حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى بْنِ حَبَّانَ قَالَ سَرَقَ غُلَامٌ لِنُعْمَانَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ نَخْلًا صِغَارًا فَرُفِعَ إِلَى مَرْوَانَ فَأَرَادَ أَنْ يَقْطَعَهُ فَقَالَ رَافِعُ بْنُ خَدِيجٍ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا يُقْطَعُ فِي الثَّمَرِ وَلَا فِي الْكَثَرِ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِيَحْيَى مَا الْكَثَرُ قَالَ الْجُمَّارُ.
الترجمة الإنجليزية
Muhammad ibn Ja'far told us: Shu'bah told us, from Yahya ibn Sa'id, from Muhammad ibn Yahya ibn Habban, who said: A slave-boy of al-Nu'man al-Ansari stole some small palm shoots, and the matter was brought before Marwan, who intended to have his hand cut off. Rafi' ibn Khadij said: "The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: 'There is no [hand-]cutting for fruit still on the tree, nor for palm-heart.'" I said to Yahya: "What is al-kathar?" He said: "The heart of the palm-tree."
