قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) شَجَرَةٌ أَصْلُهَا فِي الْحِلِّ وَ فَرْعُهَا فِي الْحَرَمِ فَقَالَ حُرِّمَ أَصْلُهَا لِمَكَانِ فَرْعِهَا قُلْتُ فَإِنَّ أَصْلَهَا فِي الْحَرَمِ وَ فَرْعَهَا فِي الْحِلِّ فَقَالَ حُرِّمَ فَرْعُهَا لِمَكَانِ أَصْلِهَا .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, and Muhammad Bin Ismail, from Al Fazl Bin Shazaan, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Muawiya Bin Ammar who said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, ‘A tree, the root of which is in the unrestricted area, and its branches are in the Al-Harram’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Its roots are Prohibited (to cut off) due to the placing of its branches’. I said, ‘Supposing its roots are inside the Al-Harram and its branches are in the unrestricted area?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Its branches are Prohibited due to the placing of its roots’.
