Abu Jafar Muhammad bin Ali reported from Samurah ibn Jundub that he had a row of palm-trees in the garden of a man of the Ansar. The man had his family with him. Samurah used to visit his palm-trees, and the man was annoyed by that and felt it keenly. So he asked him (Samurah) to sell them to him, but he refused. He then asked him to take something else in exchange, but he refused. So he came to the Holy Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم and mentioned it to him. The Holy Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم asked him to sell it to him, but he refused. He asked him to take something else in exchange, but he refused.
