قَالَ لِي أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَدْ رَأَيْتُ حَائِطَكَ فَغَرَسْتَ فِيهِ شَيْئاً بَعْدُ قَالَ قُلْتُ قَدْ أَرَدْتُ أَنْ آخُذَ مِنْ حِيطَانِكَ وَدِيّاً قَالَ أَ فَلَا أُخْبِرُكَ بِمَا هُوَ خَيْرٌ لَكَ مِنْهُ وَ أَسْرَعُ قُلْتُ بَلَى قَالَ إِذَا أَيْنَعَتِ الْبُسْرَةُ وَ هَمَّتْ أَنْ تُرْطِبَ فَاغْرِسْهَا فَإِنَّهَا تُؤَدِّي إِلَيْكَ مِثْلَ الَّذِي غَرَسْتُهَا سَوَاءً فَفَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ فَنَبَتَتْ مِثْلَهُ سَوَاءً .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Muhammad Bin Al Husayn, from Muhammad Bin Ismail, from Salih Bin Uqba who said, ‘Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> said to me: ‘I<sup>asws</sup> saw your garden, so have you planted anything in it afterwards?’ I said, ‘I intended to take stems from your<sup>asws</sup> garden (and plant these)’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Shall I<sup>asws</sup> inform you with what is better for you than it and quicker?’ I said, ‘Yes’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘‘When dates ripen and you are about to pick them as fresh dates, plant them, it (the crop) will produce just like what you planted. So I did that and it grew as the same like it’.
