Hadith 117

Al Kafi – Ali Bin Muhammad Bin Bundar, from Ahmad Bin Abu Abdullah, from his father, from one of our companions, from Abdullah Bin Muskan, from Zurara, ‘From Abu Ja’far-asws having said: ‘Samurat Bin Jundab had a palm tree for him, and its pathway to it was in the middle of a house of a man from the Helpers. He used to come and entered to his tree without permission from the Helper. The Helper said to him, ‘O Samurat! You do not cease to surprise us upon a state which we do not like to be surprised upon. Whenever you enter, seek permission’. He said, ‘I will not seek permission regarding a pathway and it is my pathway to my tree’. He-asws said: ‘So the Helper complained to Rasool-Allah-saww. Rasool-Allah-saww sent for him, and he came over to him-saww. He-saww said to him: ‘So and so has complained and alleges that you are trespassing upon him and his family without permission, therefore seek permission to him whenever you intend to enter’. He said, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! I have to seek permission regarding my pathway to my tree? ’ Rasool-Allah-saww said to him: ‘Leave it alone and for you would be a tree in its replacement in such and such a place’. He said, ‘No’. He-saww said: ‘For you would be two’. He said, ‘I do not want it’. He-saww did not cease to increase upon him until it reached ten trees. But he said, ‘No’. He-saww said: ‘For you would be ten in such and such a place’. But, he refused’. He-saww said: ‘And for you, in its place, would be a tree in the Paradise’. He said, ‘I do not want it’. Rasool-Allah-saww said to him: ‘You are a harmful man, and there should neither be a harm nor a harm caused upon a Momin’. He-asws said: ‘Then Rasool-Allah-saww ordered with it, so it was uprooted, then it was thrown with it at him, and Rasool-Allah-saww said to him: ‘Go, and plant it wherever you so desire to’’. [119]
