Salafi Translated Benefits: The Tree of Faith

Here are a few benefits from the book 'The Tree of Faith' by Shaykh Sa'dee.

Qur'aan:

ألَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ ضَرَبَ اللَّهُ مَثَلًا كَلِمَةً طَيِّبَةً كَشَجَرَةٍ طَيِّبَةٍ أَصْلُهَا ثَابِتٌ وَفَرْعُهَا فِي السَّمَاءِ تُؤْتِي أُكُلَهَا كُلَّ حِينٍ بِإِذْنِ رَبِّهَا ۗ وَيَضْرِبُ اللَّهُ الْأَمْثَالَ لِلنَّاسِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَذَكَّرُونَ

“See you not how Allâh sets forth a parable? A goodly word as a goodly tree, whose root is firmly fixed, and its branches (reach) to the sky (i.e. very high). Giving its fruit at all times, by the Leave of its Lord, and Allâh sets forth parables for mankind in order that they may remember.”

[Soorah Ibraaheem 14:24-25]

Hadeeth:

“There is a tree which resembles the Muslim, it does not shed its leaves in winter or summer and it bears fruit all the time, tell me what it is?”

Ibn ‘Umar said, “I thought of the date-palm tree but felt shy to answer when I saw that Aboo Bakr and ‘Umar did not answer.” Thereupon the Messenger of Allaah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said, “It is the date-palm tree”

(Bukhaaree 1/130; Muslim 4/2165)
