عن أنس رضي الله عنه عن الرسول صلى الله عليه و سلم قال: إِنْ قَامَتْ السَّاعَةُ وَفي يَدِ أَحَدِكُمْ فَسِيلةٌ، فَإِنْ اسْتَطَاعَ أَنْ لاَ يَقُومَ حَتَّى يَغْرِسَهَا؛ فَلْيَغْرِسْها

Anas bin Mālik relates that the prophet (peace be upon him) said: "If the Hour arrives and in the hand of one of you is a Faseelah and if he could stay until it was planted; So let him plant it."
