سَأَلَهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ لَهُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ أَسْمَعُ قَوْماً يَقُولُونَ إِنَّ الزِّرَاعَةَ مَكْرُوهَةٌ فَقَالَ لَهُ ازْرَعُوا وَ اغْرِسُوا فَلَا وَ اللَّهِ مَا عَمِلَ النَّاسُ عَمَلًا أَحَلَّ وَ لَا أَطْيَبَ مِنْهُ وَ اللَّهِ لَيَزْرَعُنَّ الزَّرْعَ وَ لَيَغْرِسُنَّ النَّخْلَ بَعْدَ خُرُوجِ الدَّجَّالِ .


Translation

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Muhammad Bin Khalid, from Sayaba, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, said, ‘A man asked him<sup>asws</sup>, saying to him<sup>asws</sup>, ‘May I be sacrificed for you<sup>asws</sup>! I heard a group of people saying that the agriculture is from the abhorrent matters’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said to him: ‘You must farm and plant. By Allah<sup>azwj</sup>! The people cannot do a work sweeter and better than it. By Allah<sup>azwj</sup>! The plantation would be farmed, and the palm trees would be planted (even) after the coming out of the Dajjal<sup>la</sup>’.
