Allah the Exalted said: “And shake toward you the trunk of the palm tree” [Maryam: 25]. Was it a trunk without a top, or a palm tree like other palm trees?

Question:
He says: I disagreed with some of my companions regarding the words of Allah the Exalted to Maryam (peace be upon her):[Maryam 19:25] He says that it was merely a trunk with no head, while I say that it was a date palm like the other date palms. What is the correct understanding of this noble verse? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
The apparent meaning of the verse is that it was a complete palm tree, containing fresh dates and dry dates, and this does not occur except in a complete, living palm tree. This is the apparent meaning of the verse, although arguing about this is of no benefit. Arguing about such matters is of no benefit. Yes.
