The date palm

النخلة

'Shake the trunk of the palm and fresh ripe dates will drop on you' — said to Mary when the pangs drove her to its trunk; tall palms with clustered sheaths; in Paradise palms and pomegranates; and over it the jurists placed zakat and share-cropping.

The grapevine

Among God's signs in the earth the vine grows in trellised and untrellised gardens; in Paradise are gardens of vines, and in the parable of the two gardens one had grapes and palms.
