أبي - رحمه الله - قال: حدثنا محمد بن يحيى العطار، عن محمد بن علي بن محبوب، عن علي بن السندي، عن صفوان، عن إسحاق بن عمار، عن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام، قال: لا تستأجر الأرض بالتمر ولا بالحنطة ولا بالشعير ولا بالأربعاء ولا بالنطاف: قلت: وما الأربعاء؟ قال: الشرب، والنطاف فضل الماء ولكن تقبلها بالذهب والفضة والنصف و الثلث والربع.
1. My father, may Allah grant him mercy, said: We were told by Muhammed bin Yahya al-‘Attar, from Muhammed bin Ali bin Mahboub, from Ali bin Sindi, from Safwan, from Ishaq bin Ammar, from Abu Abdillah, peace be upon him, that he said: Do not seek to rent a land by dates, nor wheat, nor barley, nor arbi’aa’, nor nitaf. I said: And what is arbi’aa’? He said: Drinking, and nitaf is that which is excessive from water. However, its acceptance is by silver, gold, halves, thirds and fourths.
