سَأَلْتُهُ وَ قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ إِنَّ لَنَا ضِيَاعاً وَ لَهَا حُدُودٌ وَ فِيهَا مَرَاعِي وَ لِلرَّجُلِ مِنَّا غَنَمٌ وَ إِبِلٌ وَ يَحْتَاجُ إِلَى تِلْكَ الْمَرَاعِي لِإِبِلِهِ وَ غَنَمِهِ أَ يَحِلُّ لَهُ أَنْ يَحْمِيَ الْمَرَاعِيَ لِحَاجَتِهِ إِلَيْهَا فَقَالَ إِذَا كَانَتِ الْأَرْضُ أَرْضَهُ فَلَهُ أَنْ يَحْمِيَ وَ يُصَيِّرَ ذَلِكَ إِلَى مَا يَحْتَاجُ إِلَيْهِ قَالَ وَ قُلْتُ لَهُ الرَّجُلُ يَبِيعُ الْمَرَاعِيَ فَقَالَ إِذَا كَانَتِ الْأَرْضُ أَرْضَهُ فَلَا بَأْسَ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, and Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Abu Nasr, from Idrees Bin Zayd, from Abu Al Hassan<sup>asws</sup>, said, ‘I asked him<sup>asws</sup>, ‘May I be sacrificed for you<sup>asws</sup>! There is a place for us and for it are boundaries, and therein is a pasture field, and for the man from us there as sheep, and camels, and he is needy to that pasture for his camels and his sheep. Is it Permissible for him that he reserves the pasture for his needs to it?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘If the land was his land, so it would be for him to reserve and that would come to be for what he needs it for’. He (the narrator) said, ‘And I said to him<sup>asws</sup>, ‘The man sells the pasture?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘If the land was his land, so there is no problem’.
