سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ اشْتَرَى مَرْعًى يَرْعَى فِيهِ بِخَمْسِينَ دِرْهَماً أَوْ أَقَلَّ أَوْ أَكْثَرَ فَأَرَادَ أَنْ يُدْخِلَ مَعَهُ مَنْ يَرْعَى فِيهِ وَ يَأْخُذَ مِنْهُمُ الثَّمَنَ قَالَ فَلْيُدْخِلْ مَعَهُ مَنْ شَاءَ بِبَعْضِ مَا أَعْطَى وَ إِنْ أَدْخَلَ مَعَهُ بِتِسْعَةٍ وَ أَرْبَعِينَ وَ كَانَتْ غَنَمُهُ بِدِرْهَمٍ فَلَا بَأْسَ وَ إِنْ هُوَ رَعَى فِيهِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُدْخِلَهُ بِشَهْرٍ أَوْ شَهْرَيْنِ أَوْ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ بَعْدَ أَنْ يُبَيِّنَ لَهُمْ فَلَا بَأْسَ وَ لَيْسَ لَهُ أَنْ يَبِيعَهُ بِخَمْسِينَ دِرْهَماً وَ يَرْعَى مَعَهُمْ وَ لَا بِأَكْثَرَ مِنْ خَمْسِينَ وَ لَا يَرْعَى مَعَهُمْ إِلَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ قَدْ عَمِلَ فِي الْمَرْعَى عَمَلًا حَفَرَ بِئْراً أَوْ شَقَّ نَهَراً أَوْ تَعَنَّى فِيهِ بِرِضَا أَصْحَابِ الْمَرْعَى فَلَا بَأْسَ بِبَيْعِهِ بِأَكْثَرَ مِمَّا اشْتَرَاهُ بِهِ لِأَنَّهُ قَدْ عَمِلَ فِيهِ عَمَلًا فَبِذَلِكَ يَصْلُحُ لَهُ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Husayn Bin Saeed, from his brother Al Hassan, from Zurara Bin Muhammad, from Sama’at who said, ‘I asked him<sup>asws</sup> about a man who bought a pasture field to pasture in, for fifty Dirhams, or less or more. So he intended that he includes with him anyone who would pasture in it and take the price from him. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘So let him include with him the ones who he so desires to for part of what he has given, and even if he were to include with him forty nine sheep, and there was (only one) sheep of his for one Dirham, so there is no problem. And if he was to pasture therein before he enters (others therein) by a month, or two months, or more than that after clears it for them, so there is no problem, and it is not for him that he sells it for fifty Dirhams and he pastures along with them, nor for more than fifty Dirham and he does not pasture along with them, unless it so happens that he had worked in the pasture with a work, digging a well, or grooving a canal, or he gets exhausted therein with the agreement of the owner of the pasture, so there is no problem with him selling it for more than what he had bought it for, because he had worked therein with a work. Thus, due to that, it is correct for him’.
