سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَكُونُ لَهُ الْأَرْضُ مِنْ أَرْضِ الْخَرَاجِ فَيَدْفَعُهَا إِلَى الرَّجُلِ عَلَى أَنْ يَعْمُرَهَا وَ يُصْلِحَهَا وَ يُؤَدِّيَ خَرَاجَهَا وَ مَا كَانَ مِنْ فَضْلٍ فَهُوَ بَيْنَهُمَا قَالَ لَا بَأْسَ قَالَ وَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يُعْطِي الرَّجُلَ أَرْضَهُ وَ فِيهَا رُمَّانٌ أَوْ نَخْلٌ أَوْ فَاكِهَةٌ فَيَقُولُ اسْقِ هَذَا مِنَ الْمَاءِ وَ اعْمُرْهُ وَ لَكَ نِصْفُ مَا أُخْرِجَ قَالَ لَا بَأْسَ قَالَ وَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يُعْطِي الرَّجُلَ الْأَرْضَ فَيَقُولُ اعْمُرْهَا وَ هِيَ لَكَ ثَلَاثُ سِنِينَ أَوْ خَمْسُ سِنِينَ أَوْ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ قَالَ لَا بَأْسَ قَالَ وَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الْمُزَارَعَةِ فَقَالَ النَّفَقَةُ مِنْكَ وَ الْأَرْضُ لِصَاحِبِهَا فَمَا أَخْرَجَ اللَّهُ مِنْهَا مِنْ شَيْءٍ قُسِمَ عَلَى الشَّطْرِ وَ كَذَلِكَ أَعْطَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) أَهْلَ خَيْبَرَ حِينَ أَتَوْهُ فَأَعْطَاهُمْ إِيَّاهَا عَلَى أَنْ يَعْمُرُوهَا وَ لَهُمُ النِّصْفُ مِمَّا أَخْرَجَتْ.
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Muhammad Bin Al Husayn, from Safwan, from yaqoub Bin Shuayb, from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, said, ‘I asked him<sup>asws</sup> about the man who happened to have the land from the goverement lands. So he handed it over to the man upon a stipulation that he would work upon it and correct it, and he would pay its taxes, and whatever was from the excess, so it would be between the two of them. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘There is no problem’. He (the narrator) said, ‘And I asked him<sup>asws</sup> about the man who gave his land to the man and therein were pomegranates, or palm trees, or fruits, so he was saying, ‘Irrigate this from the water and work upon it, and for you would be half of what comes out’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘There is no problem’. He (the narrator) said, ‘And I asked him<sup>asws</sup> about the man who have the land to the man, so he was saying, ‘Work upon it and it is for you for three years, or five years, or whatever Allah<sup>ajwj</sup> so Desires’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘There is no problem’. He (the narrator) said, ‘And I asked him<sup>asws</sup> about the farming on a sharing basis, so he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘The expenditure is for you and the land is for its owner. So whatever Allah<sup>ajwj</sup> brings out from it from anything, it would be divided upon the stipulation; and such is how Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> gave the people of Khyber when they came to him<sup>saww</sup>. So he<sup>saww</sup> have it (land) to them upon a stipulation that they would work upon it and for them would be the half from whatever comes out’.
