Jami` at-Tirmidhi: Book 25, Hadith 67

Narrated ‘Umar bin Al-Khattab: That the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Eat olive and use its oil, for indeed it is a blessed tree.”

We do not know of this Hadith except through the narration of ‘Abdur-Razzaq from Ma’mar (narrators in the chain of this Hadith). ‘Abdur-Razzaq would narrate this with Idtirab. Sometimes he mentioned in it: “From ‘Umar, from the Prophet (ﷺ)” and sometimes he reported it indicating doubt, saying: “I think it is from ‘Umar from the Prophet (ﷺ).” And sometimes he said: “From Zaid bin Aslam, from his father, from the Prophet (ﷺ)” in a Mursal form.

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ مُوسَى، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏
“‏ كُلُوا الزَّيْتَ وَادَّهِنُوا بِهِ فَإِنَّهُ مِنْ شَجَرَةٍ مُبَارَكَةٍ ‏”‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ لاَ نَعْرِفُهُ إِلاَّ مِنْ حَدِيثِ عَبْدِ الرَّزَّاقِ عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ وَكَانَ عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ يَضْطَرِبُ فِي رِوَايَةِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ فَرُبَّمَا ذَكَرَ فِيهِ عَنْ عُمَرَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَرُبَّمَا رَوَاهُ عَلَى الشَّكِّ فَقَالَ أَحْسَبُهُ عَنْ عُمَرَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَرُبَّمَا قَالَ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم مُرْسَلاً ‏.‏
