Al-Kafi 9302

Translation

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid, from his father, from Abdullah Bin Bukeyr, from Zurara, from Abu Ja’far^asws having said: ‘Samurat Bin Jundab had a tree in a garden of a man from the Helpers, and the house of the Helper was at the gate of the garden, and he (Samurat) used to pass by it to his palm tree, and he would not seek permission. So the Helper spoke to him that he should seek permission whenever he comes. But, Samurat refused. So when the Helper went over to Rasool-Allah^saww, he complained to him^saww and informed him^saww of the news. So Rasool-Allah^saww sent a messenger to him and informed him with the words of the Helper, and what he had complained with, and said: ‘If you intend the entry, so seek permission’. But he refused. So when he refused, he^saww bargained with him until it reached from the price what Allah^ajwj so Desired. But he (still) refused to sell it. So he^saww said: ‘For you would be a tree extended to you in the Paradise if you accept’. But he refused. So Rasool-Allah^saww said to the Helper: ‘Go and uproot it and throw it at him, for there should neither be harm nor a harm caused’.
