Chapter on Guiding the Dying, Positioning Them at Death, Procedures for Their Final Moments, Washing Them, and Placing Them in Shrouds
وَ رُوِيَ:« أَنَّ اَللَّهَ تَعَالَى خَلَقَ اَلنَّخْلَةَ مِنْ فَضْلَةِ اَلطِّينَةِ اَلَّتِي خَلَقَ اَللَّهُ مِنْهَا آدَمَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ فَلِأَجْلِ ذَلِكَ تُسَمَّى اَلنَّخْلَةُ عَمَّةَ اَلْإِنْسَانِ».
And it has been narrated: "Indeed, Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Exalted, created the date palm tree from the leftover clay with which He سبحانه وتعالى created Adam عليه السلام. For this reason, the date palm tree is called 'the aunt of mankind.'"
