النَّهْيُ عَنْ قَطعِ الشَّجَرِ Cutting down Trees

5ـ الإمامُ الصّادقُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): لا تَقطَعُوا الثِّمارَ فَيَبعَثُ اللّه‏ُ عَليكُمُ العَذابَ صَبّاً.

5– Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, 'Do not cut down fruit trees for Allah will pour down punishment unto you.’[al-Kafi, v. 5, p. 264, no. 9]
 

6ـ الإمامُ الصّادقُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): مَكروهٌ قَطعُ النَّخلِ .

6– Imam al-Sadiq (AS) was once asked about cutting down trees, to which he replied, 'There is no objection to it.’ `Aammar b. Musa narrates that he asked him further, 'What about the lotus tree?' to which he again replied, 'There is no objection to it. What is objectionable is cutting down lotus trees that grow in the desert, for there are so few of them there. Here, however, it is not a problem.’[al-Kafi, no. 8]
