Sunan Abi Dawud 5239

سنن أبي داود#5239Sahih

Narrated Abdullah ibn Habashi: The Prophet (ﷺ) said: If anyone cuts the lote-tree, Allah brings him headlong into Hell. Abu Dawud was asked about the meaning of this tradition. He said: This is a brief tradition. It means that if anyone cuts uselessly, unjustly and without any right a lote-tree under the shade of which travellers and beasts take shelter, Allah will bring him into Hell headlong
