Hadith 4475

Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: “A man came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said, ‘In my garden, there is a date-palm belonging to so-and-so, and its position bothers me.’ The Prophet (ﷺ) sent for the owner and said, ‘Sell me your date-palm.’ He said, ‘No.’ The Prophet said, ‘Then give it to me as a gift.’ He said, ‘No.’ The Prophet said, ‘Then sell it to me for a date-palm in Paradise.’ He said, ‘No.’ The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, ‘I have not seen anyone more miserly than you except one who is miserly with the greeting of peace.’”
