حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ،‏‏‏‏ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ أَبِي سُلَيْمَانَ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ مُطْعِمٍ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ حُبْشِيٍّ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قال رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ مَنْ قَطَعَ سِدْرَةً صَوَّبَ اللَّهُ رَأْسَهُ فِي النَّارِ ،‏‏‏‏ سُئِلَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ عَنْ مَعْنَى هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ،‏‏‏‏ فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ مُخْتَصَرٌ،‏‏‏‏ يَعْنِي:‏‏‏‏ مَنْ قَطَعَ سِدْرَةً فِي فَلَاةٍ يَسْتَظِلُّ بِهَا ابْنُ السَّبِيلِ وَالْبَهَائِمُ عَبَثًا وَظُلْمًا بِغَيْرِ حَقٍّ يَكُونُ لَهُ فِيهَا،‏‏‏‏ صَوَّبَ اللَّهُ رَأْسَهُ فِي النَّارِ.

The Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said: If anyone cuts the lote-tree, Allah brings him headlong into Hell. Abu Dawud was asked about the meaning of this tradition. He said: This is a brief tradition. It means that if anyone cuts uselessly, unjustly and without any right a lote-tree under the shade of which travelers and beasts take shelter, Allah will bring him into Hell headlong.
