What is the meaning of the Hadith: "Treat your paternal aunt, the palm tree, well"?
The Hadith in question: "Honor your paternal aunt, the palm tree, for it was created from the surplus of the clay of your father Adam. And there is no tree more honored by Allah Almighty than the tree under which Maryam, the daughter of 'Imran, gave birth. So feed your women in childbirth fresh dates, and if not available, then dried dates." This Hadith is considered fabricated, as stated by Al-Suyuti, and weakened by Al-Albani in his book "Da'if al-Jami'".
