Hadith 113
۞
111. And by this chain, from Hafs who said
I saw Abu Abdullah (asws) alone in the gardens of Al-Kufa. He (asws) came to a palm tree, so he (asws) performed ablution near it, then bowed and prostrated. I counted in his (asws) prostration five hundred Glorifications (Tasbeeh). Then he (asws) leaned on the palm tree and supplicated by a supplication. Then he (asws) said: ‘O Abu Hafs! By Allah (azwj), it is the palm tree about which Allah (azwj) Said to Maryam (as): “[19:25] And shake towards you the trunk of the palm tree, it will drop on you fresh ripe dates”.
وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ حَفْصٍ قَالَ
رَأَيْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) يَتَخَلَّلُ بَسَاتِينَ الْكُوفَةِ فَانْتَهَى إِلَى نَخْلَةٍ فَتَوَضَّأَ عِنْدَهَا ثُمَّ رَكَعَ وَ سَجَدَ فَأَحْصَيْتُ فِي سُجُودِهِ خَمْسَمِائَةِ تَسْبِيحَةٍ ثُمَّ اسْتَنَدَ إِلَى النَّخْلَةِ فَدَعَا بِدَعَوَاتٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا أَبَا حَفْصٍ إِنَّهَا وَ اللَّهِ النَّخْلَةُ الَّتِي قَالَ اللَّهُ جَلَّ وَ عَزَّ لِمَرْيَمَ (عليها السلام) وَ هُزِّي إِلَيْكِ بِجِذْعِ النَّخْلَةِ تُساقِطْ عَلَيْكِ رُطَباً جَنِيًّا.
