سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَكُونُ لَهُ الشِّرْبُ مَعَ قَوْمٍ فِي قَنَاةٍ فِيهَا شُرَكَاءُ فَيَسْتَغْنِي بَعْضُهُمْ عَنْ شِرْبِهِ أَ يَبِيعُ شِرْبَهُ قَالَ نَعَمْ إِنْ شَاءَ بَاعَهُ بِوَرِقٍ وَ إِنْ شَاءَ بَاعَهُ بِكَيْلِ حِنْطَةٍ .
Translation
Abu Ali Al Ashary, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Jabbar, from Safwan, from Saeed Al A’araj, from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, said, ‘I asked him<sup>asws</sup> about the man who happened to have the water for him with a group of people in a waterway wherein were partners. So some of them became self-sufficient from drinking it, can he sell his (share of the) water?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Yes, if he so desires to, he can sell it with silver (Dirhams), and if he so desires to he can sell it with a measurement of wheat’.
