Al-Kafi 9206

Translation

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Usman Bin Isa, from Sama’at who said, ‘I asked about the farming on a sharing basis of the Muslim with the Polytheist. So there happened to be with the Muslim, the seeds and the oxen, and the land, and the water, and the taxation, and the work was upon <span class="iTxt">Al Ilj</span> (the Polytheist). He^asws said: ‘There is no problem with it’. He (the narrator) said, ‘And I asked him^asws about the crop sharing. I said, ‘The man sowed one hundred Jareyb (unit of measurement) in the land, or less or more, foodstuff or something else. So a man came to him saying, ‘Take from me half the price of the sowing which you have cultivated in the land, and half of your expenditure incurred and participate me in it’. He said, ‘There is no problem’. I said, ‘And if it was such that the one who sowed in it had not bought it with a price, and rather it was something which was with him (from beforehand)?’ He^asws said: ‘So let him evaluate its price just as he had bought it on that day, and let him take half the price, and half the expenditure, and participate him’.
