نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) عَنِ النِّطَافِ وَ الْأَرْبِعَاءِ قَالَ وَ الْأَرْبِعَاءُ أَنْ يُسَنَّى مُسَنَّاةٌ فَيُحْمَلَ الْمَاءَ فَيُسْتَقَى بِهِ الْأَرْضَ ثُمَّ يُسْتَغْنَى عَنْهُ فَقَالَ لَا تَبِعْهُ وَ لَكِنْ أَعِرْهُ جَارَكَ وَ النِّطَافُ أَنْ يَكُونَ لَهُ الشِّرْبُ فَيَسْتَغْنِيَ عَنْهُ فَيَقُولُ لَا تَبِعْهُ وَ لَكِنْ أَعِرْهُ أَخَاكَ أَوْ جَارَكَ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Abdullah Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, and Humeyd Bin Ziyad, from Al Hassan Bin Sama’at, from Ja’far Bin Sama’at, altogether, from Aban, from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> forbade from <span class="iTxt">Al Nat’aaf</span> and <span class="iTxt">Al Arba’a</span>’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘<span class="iTxt">Al Arba’a</span> is that one builds a dam, so he holds the water and irrigates the land with it, then becomes needless from it. So he<sup>saww</sup> said: ‘Do not pursue it, but irrigate your neighbour (adjacent land)’. And <span class="iTxt">Al Nat’aaf</span> is that there happens to be the water for him, so he is needless from it, so he<sup>saww</sup> was saying: ‘Do not puruse it, but irrigate your brother or your neighbour’.
