Abu Dawud Book 36, Hadith Number 5221.

Narated By Hassan ibn Ibrahim : I asked Hisham ibn Urwah about the cutting of a lote-tree when he was leaning against the house of Urwah. He said: Do you not see these doors and leaves? These were made of the lote-tree of Urwah which Urwah used to cut from his hand? He said: There is no harm in it.

Humayd’s version adds: You have brought an innovation, O Iraqi! He said: The innovation is from you. I heard someone say at Mecca: The Apostle of Allah (PBUH) cursed him who cuts a lote-tree. He then mentioned the rest of the tradition to the same effect.
