I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, "Indeed, the trunk fulfills what it is meant to fulfill from it, just as the branches do." This is narrated by Shu'bah from 'Asim ibn Kulaib, and the Sahabi (Companion) is not mentioned.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ صَالِحِ بْنِ هَانِئٍ ثَنَا السَّرِيُّ بْنُ خُزَيْمَةَ ثَنَا أَبُو حُذَيْفَةَ ثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ كُلَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ كُنَّا مَعَ مُجَاشِعِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ السُّلَمِيِّ فِي غَزَاةٍ فَغَلَتِ الضَّحَايَا فَقَالَ
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «إِنَّ الْجَذَعَ يُوفِي مِمَّا يُوفِي مِنْهُ الثَّنِيُّ» رَوَاهُ شُعْبَةُ عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ كُلَيْبٍ وَلَمْ يُسَمِّ الصَّحَابِيَّ
