حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو نَجِيحٍ الْمِسْمَعِيِّ عَنِ الْفَيْضِ بْنِ الْمُخْتَارِ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ مَا تَقُولُ فِي أَرْضٍ أَتَقَبَّلُهَا مِنَ السُّلْطَانِ ثُمَّ أُؤَاجِرُهَا أَكَرَتِي عَلَى أَنَّ مَا أَخْرَجَ اللَّهُ مِنْهَا مِنْ شَيْءٍ كَانَ لِي مِنْ ذَلِكَ النِّصْفُ وَ الثُّلُثُ بَعْدَ حَقِّ السُّلْطَانِ قَالَ لَا بَأْسَ بِهِ كَذَلِكَ أُعَامِلُ أَكَرَتِي .
Translation
Humeyd Bin Ziyad, from Al Hassan Bin Muhammad, from Ahmad Bin Al Hassan Al Maysami who said, ‘Abu Najeeh Al Mimai narrated to me from Al Qayz Bin Al Mukhtar who said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, ‘May I be sacrificed for you<sup>asws</sup>! What are you<sup>asws</sup> saying regarding a land I lease from the Sultan (ruling authority), then I rent it out to my lessees upon a stipulation that whatever Allah<sup>ajwj</sup> Brings out from it from anything, what would be for me from that is the half, and the third, after the right (land tax) of the Sultan?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘There is no problem with it. That is how I<sup>asws</sup> deal with my<sup>asws</sup> lessees’.
