حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ

قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمٍ يَغْرِسُ غَرْسًا إِلاَّ كَانَ مَا أُكِلَ مِنْهُ لَهُ صَدَقَةٌ وَمَا سُرِقَ مِنْهُ لَهُ صَدَقَةٌ وَمَا أَكَلَ السَّبُعُ مِنْهُ فَهُوَ لَهُ صَدَقَةٌ وَمَا أَكَلَتِ الطَّيْرُ فَهُوَ لَهُ صَدَقَةً وَلَا يَرْزَؤُهُ أَحَدٌ إِلاَّ كَانَ لَهُ صَدَقَةٌ»

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: Never does a Muslim plants a tree except that he has the reward of charity for him, for what is eaten out of that is charity; what is stolen out of that, what the beasts eat out of that, what the birds eat out of that is charity for him. (In short) none incurs a loss to him but it becomes a charity on his part.

আমর আন্‌ নাকিদ (রহঃ) ..... আনাস ইবনু মালিক (রাযিঃ) থেকে বর্ণিত। এক সময়ে নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম রি'ল, যাকওয়ান ও উসাইয়্যাহ গোত্রসমূহকে লা'নাত করে একমাস পর্যন্ত সালাতে কুনুত পড়েছেন। এরা সবাই আল্লাহ ও তার রসূলের সাথে নাফরমানী করেছিল। (ইসলামী ফাউন্ডেশন ১৪৩২, ইসলামীক সেন্টার)

شعبہ نے قتادہ سے اور انھوں نے حضرت انس ‌رضی ‌اللہ ‌عنہ ‌ ‌ سے روایت کی کہ نبی ﷺ نے ایک مہینے تک قنوت کی ، آپ رعل ، ذکوان اور عصیہ پر لعنت بھیجتے تھے جنھوں نے اللہ اور اس کے رسول ﷺ کی معصیت کی تھی ۔

Bize Amru'n-Nakıd rivayet etti. (Dediki): Bize Esved b. Amir rivayet etti. (Dediki): Bize Şu'be, Katâde'den o da Enes b. Mâlik'den naklen haber verdi ki Nebi (Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem) bir ay kunut yapmış Allah ve Resulüne isyan eden Ri'l, Zekvân ve Usayye kabilelerine bedduada bulunmuşdur

What it means

This Hadīth means that any Muslim who plants a tree or sows a field, then any living being eats from it, he will receive reward for it, even after his death, for the reward of his action will continue as long as the his plants stay beneficial. This Hadīth encourages the planting trees and sowing fields for what they entail of abundance goodness, for they have religious benefits as well as worldly benefits.

If anything is eaten of such trees or plants, it will be counted as charity, even something is stolen of it, i.e. when someone steals dates from his date palm, yet he will receive the reward, keeping in mind that if the owner recognizes the thief, he will sue him in the court, even though, Allah, the Almighty, counts it as charity for its owner until the Day of Judgment.

Also if some animals or insects eat form it, the owner will still receive the reward of charity. The Hadīth specifies the Muslim because he is the one who benefits from this charity in this world and the Hereafter.
