عُودَ السِّدْرِ قِيلَ فَإِنْ لَمْ نَقْدِرْ عَلَى السِّدْرِ فَقَالَ عُودَ الْخِلَافِ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from someone else from our companions who said, ‘We said to him<sup>asws</sup>, ‘May we be sacrificed for you<sup>asws</sup>! (Supposing) we are not able upon the (palm) twigs?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘A lotus twig’. It was said, ‘Supposing we are not able upon the lotus?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘A different twig’.
