حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ خِرَاشِ بْنِ حَوْشَبٍ الشَّيْبَانِيُّ ، عَنِ الْعَوَّامِ بْنِ حَوْشَبٍ ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " الْمُسْلِمُونَ شُرَكَاءُ فِي ثَلَاثٍ : فِي الْمَاءِ وَالْكَلَإِ وَالنَّارِ ، وَثَمَنُهُ حَرَامٌ " ، قَالَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ : يَعْنِي الْمَاءَ الْجَارِيَ .
´It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbas that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:` “The Muslims are partners in three things: water, pasture and fire, and their price is unlawful.”
Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues:
(1)
By "water" is meant the water of rivers, streams, etc. Every person should water his own crops and then leave it for others. If someone has constructed a pond and collected water in it for his animals, or has dug a well or installed a hand pump at his own expense for his own needs, even then it is preferable that he should not prevent anyone from using the water. However, he does have the right to fulfill his own needs first.
(2)
Wild grass and firewood can be cut and used by anyone according to their need. However, after cutting, it becomes the property of the one who cut it, and thus he can sell it.
(3)
All Muslims have equal rights to the three things mentioned in the hadith. Non-Muslims living in the Muslim state also have the right to use them. Muslims are mentioned because they are in the majority, and thus the possibility of dispute and disagreement arising among them is greater.
