Question

Is this Hadith authentic?

عن جابر، أنّ النّبيّ صلّى الله عليه وسلّم دخل على أمّ مبشّر الأنصاريّة في نخل لها، فقال لها النّبي صلّى الله عليه وسلّم: من غرس هذا النخل؟ أمسلم أم كافر؟ فقالت: بل مسلم، فقال: لا يغرس مسلم غرسا، ولا يزرع زرعا، فيأكل منه إنسان، ولا دابّة، ولا شيء، إلا كانت له صدقة.

 

Answer

Imam Muslim (rahimahullah) has recorded this Hadith. It is therefore authentic.

Sayyiduna Jabir (radiyallahu ‘anhu) reported that Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) once entered upon the date orchard of Ummu Mubasshir Al Ansariyyah (radiyallahu ‘anha)  and asked, “Who planted these date palms? Was it a Muslim or a Disbeliever?” She replied, “A Muslim.” Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said: “Any Muslim who plants [a tree] or grows [vegetation] will receive the reward of charity for every human or animal or anything else that eats from that plantation.”

(Sahih Muslim, Hadith: 1552)
