يُعْطَى الرَّاعِي الْغَنَمَ بِالْجَبَلِ يَرْعَاهَا وَ لَهُ أَصْوَافُهَا وَ أَلْبَانُهَا وَ يُعْطِينَا لِكُلِّ شَاةٍ دَرَاهِمَ فَقَالَ لَيْسَ بِذَلِكَ بَأْسٌ فَقُلْتُ إِنَّ أَهْلَ الْمَسْجِدِ يَقُولُونَ لَا يَجُوزُ لِأَنَّ مِنْهَا مَا لَيْسَ لَهُ صُوفٌ وَ لَا لَبَنٌ فَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) وَ هَلْ يُطَيِّبُهُ إِلَّا ذَاكَ يَذْهَبُ بَعْضُهُ وَ يَبْقَى بَعْضٌ .
Translation
Ali, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Ibn Al Magra, (It has been narrated) from Ibrahim Bin Maymoun who asked Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, so he said, ‘The shepherd is given the sheep at the mountain to pasture them, and for him would be their wool and their milk, and he gives us some Dirhams for every sheep’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘There is no problem with that’. So I said, ‘The people of the Masjid are saying that it is not allowed because from these are those who have neither any wool for them nor any milk’. So Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘And did he not agree except for that, he would be taking some and leaving some?’
