This hadith was narrated by Abu Dawud, and its wording is: "Whoever cuts down a sidrah (lote tree), Allah will cast his head downwards into the Fire." And it has a corroborating narration from Al-Bayhaqi, and Abdur-Razzaq Al-Mahdi graded it as hasan (good). Abu Dawud was asked about its meaning, and he said: "Whoever cuts down a sidrah in a wilderness, by which the traveler and animals seek shade, out of futility and injustice, without right, Allah will cast his head downwards into the Fire."
