3863 - وَ سَأَلَهُ سَمَاعَةُ : عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ اِشْتَرَى مَرْعًى يَرْعَى فِيهِ بِخَمْسِينَ دِرْهَماً أَوْ أَقَلَّ أَوْ أَكْثَرَ فَأَرَادَ أَنْ يُدْخِلَ مَعَهُ مَنْ يَرْعَى مَعَهُ وَ يَأْخُذَ مِنْهُمُ اَلثَّمَنَ قَالَ "فَلْيُدْخِلْ مَعَهُ مَنْ شَاءَ بِبَعْضِ مَا أَعْطَى وَ إِنْ أَدْخَلَ مَعَهُ بِتِسْعَةٍ وَ أَرْبَعِينَ دِرْهَماً فَكَانَ غَنَمُهُ تَرْعَى بِدِرْهَمٍ فَلاَ بَأْسَ وَ لَيْسَ لَهُ أَنْ يَبِيعَهُ بِخَمْسِينَ دِرْهَماً وَ يَرْعَى مَعَهُمْ إِلاَّ أَنْ يَكُونَ قَدْ عَمِلَ فِي اَلْمَرْعَى عَمَلاً حَفَرَ بِئْراً أَوْ شَقَّ نَهَراً بِرِضَا أَصْحَابِ اَلْمَرْعَى فَلاَ بَأْسَ بِأَنْ يَبِيعَهُ بِأَكْثَرَ مِمَّا اِشْتَرَاهُ بِهِ لِأَنَّهُ قَدْ عَمِلَ فِيهِ عَمَلاً فَلِذَلِكَ يَصْلُحُ لَهُ".

Hadith.3863 - Sama'ah asked him about a man who purchased grazing land for fifty dirhams, or more or less, to graze his livestock, and then wanted to allow others to graze with him and charge them a fee. Imam (as) said: "He may allow others to graze with him for part of what he paid. For example, if he includes others for forty-nine dirhams and his livestock grazes for one dirham, there is no harm in it. However, he is not allowed to sell the grazing rights for fifty dirhams and graze with them unless he has done some work on the pasture, such as digging a well or channeling a stream with the consent of the pasture owners. In that case, there is no harm in selling it for more than what he purchased it for, because he has added value through his work, making it permissible for him."
