“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘It is not harmful if a man passes by fruits and eats from them but does not destroy them. The Messenger of Allah prohibited building walls in al-Madinah because of people passing by.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘When dates ripened, he (the Messenger of Allah) would command to make openings in the walls for the people passing by.’” Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-Hassan ibn Mahbub from Khalid ibn Jarir from abu al-Rabi’ al-Shamiy from abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), a similar Hadith except that he (the Imam) said, ‘. . . does not destroy and does not carry.’”
