قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) مَنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يُلْقِحَ النَّخِيلَ إِذَا كَانَتْ لَا يَجُودُ حَمْلُهَا وَ لَا يَتَبَعَّلُ النَّخْلُ فَلْيَأْخُذْ حِيتَاناً صِغَاراً يَابِسَةً فَلْيَدُقَّهَا بَيْنَ الدَّقَّيْنِ ثُمَّ يَذُرُّ فِي كُلِّ طَلْعَةٍ مِنْهَا قَلِيلًا وَ يَصُرُّ الْبَاقِيَ فِي صُرَّةٍ نَظِيفَةٍ ثُمَّ يَجْعَلُ فِي قَلْبِ النَّخْلَةِ يَنْفَعُ بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Muhammad Bin Ahmad, from Muhammad Bin Isa, from Ahmad Bin Umar Al Jallab, from Al Huzayni, from Ibn Arafat who said, ‘Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘The one who wants to pollinate the palm tree, when it was such that it would not bear (fruit) nor irrigate, so let him take two small dried fish, and let him grind these between the two grinding plates. Then he should sow a little of it in every sprout from it, and he should keep the remainder in a clean bundle, then make it to be in the heart (centre) of the palm tree. He would benefit, Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Willing’.
