3862 - وَ سَأَلَهُ سَمَاعَةُ : عَنْ شِرَاءِ اَلْقَصِيلِ يَشْتَرِيهِ اَلرَّجُلُ فَلاَ يَقْصِلُهُ وَ يَبْدُو لَهُ فِي تَرْكِهِ حَتَّى يَخْرُجَ سُنْبُلُهُ شَعِيراً أَوْ حِنْطَةً وَ قَدِ اِشْتَرَاهُ مِنْ أَصْلِهِ وَ مَا كَانَ عَلَى أَرْبَابِهِ مِنْ خَرَاجٍ فَهُوَ عَلَى اَلْعِلْجِ فَقَالَ "إِنْ كَانَ اِشْتَرَطَ حِينَ اِشْتَرَاهُ إِنْ شَاءَ قَطَعَهُ قَصِيلاً وَ إِنْ شَاءَ تَرَكَهُ كَمَا هُوَ حَتَّى يَكُونَ سُنْبُلاً وَ إِلاَّ فَلاَ يَنْبَغِي لَهُ أَنْ يَتْرُكَهُ حَتَّى يَكُونَ سُنْبُلاً".
Hadith.3862 - Sama'ah asked him about purchasing fodder crops, where a man buys them but does not harvest them, and then decides to leave them until they produce spikes of barley or wheat. He had bought them from their roots, and any tax due on them was the responsibility of the cultivator. Imam (as) said: "If he stipulated at the time of purchase that he may either cut them as fodder or leave them as they are until they produce spikes, then there is no harm. Otherwise, it is not proper for him to leave them until they produce spikes."
