In the Quran
وَطَلْحٍۢ مَّنضُودٍۢ ٢٩
And [banana] trees layered [with fruit]
فِى سِدْرٍۢ مَّخْضُودٍۢ ٢٨
[They will be] among lote trees with thorns removed
Notes
In the commentaries
The identification of talh differs. Ibn Kathir describes it as a large thorny tree of the Hijaz, and records that Abu Saʿid, Ibn ʿAbbas, Abu Hurayrah, Mujahid, Qatadah and others said it is the banana tree; Ibn Zayd noted that the people of Yemen call the banana talh.
A note from this site
Sahih International writes “[banana]” in brackets because the word is an interpretation, not a translation of the Arabic. This page follows that reading for the photographs and the nutrition values.
