إِنَّ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ فِي الْأَرْضِ الْبُورِ يَرْتَهِنُهَا الرَّجُلُ لَيْسَ فِيهَا ثَمَرَةٌ فَزَرَعَهَا وَ أَنْفَقَ عَلَيْهَا مَالَهُ إِنَّهُ يَحْتَسِبُ لَهُ نَفَقَتَهُ وَ عَمَلَهُ خَالِصاً ثُمَّ يَنْظُرُ نَصِيبَ الْأَرْضِ فَيَحْسُبُهُ مِنْ مَالِهِ الَّذِي ارْتَهَنَ بِهِ الْأَرْضَ حَتَّى يَسْتَوْفِيَ مَالَهُ فَإِذَا اسْتَوْفَى مَالَهُ فَلْيَدْفَعِ الْأَرْضَ إِلَى صَاحِبِهَا .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Najran, from Aasim Bin Humeyd, from Muhammad Bin Qays, (It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> having said that Amir Al-Momineen<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘With regards to the barren land which the man holds as mortgage security deposit, wherein there are no fruits, so he cultivates it and spends his wealth upon it, it would be reckoned for him, his expenditure and his work exclusively. Then he would consider a share of the land, so he would reckon it from his wealth which the land has been mortgaged with until his wealth has been fulfilled. So when his wealth has been fulfilled, let him hand over the land to its owner’.
