سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ شِرَاءِ أَرْضِ الذِّمَّةِ فَقَالَ لَا بَأْسَ بِهَا فَتَكُونُ إِذَا كَانَ ذَلِكَ بِمَنْزِلَتِهِمْ تُؤَدِّي عَنْهَا كَمَا يُؤَدُّونَ قَالَ وَ سَأَلَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ النِّيلِ عَنْ أَرْضٍ اشْتَرَاهَا بِفَمِ النِّيلِ فَأَهْلُ الْأَرْضِ يَقُولُونَ هِيَ أَرْضُهُمْ وَ أَهْلُ الْأُسْتَانِ يَقُولُونَ هِيَ مِنْ أَرْضِنَا قَالَ لَا تَشْتَرِهَا إِلَّا بِرِضَا أَهْلِهَا .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, and Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Mahboub, from Al A’ala, from Muhammad Bin Muslim, from Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup>, said, ‘I asked him<sup>asws</sup> about buying a land of the Zimmy, so he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘There is no problem with it. So you would become, when it transpires (rising of Al Qaim<sup>asws</sup>), at their status. You would be paying from it just as they are paying’. He (the narrator) said, ‘And a man from the peple of the Nile asked him about a land bought at the mouth of the Nile, so the people of the land are saying that it is their land, and the people of Al Astana are saying it is from their land’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Do not buy it except with the agreement of its inhabitants’.
