ما قالوا: في الوالي أله أن يقطع شيئا من الأرض؟
What they said on the governor: may he grant a portion of land?
Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 35243 — What they said on the governor: may
٣٥٢٤٣ - حدثنا عبد اللَّه بن المبارك عن معمر عن يحيى بن قيس (المأربي) (١) عن رجل عن أبيض بن حمال أنه استقطع النبي ﷺ الملح الذي بمأرب، فأراد أن يقطعه، فقال رجل لرسول اللَّه ﷺ: إنه كالماء العد، فأبى أن يقطعه (٢).
Yahya bin Qays (may Allah have mercy on him) reported from a man that Sayyiduna Abyad bin Hammal (may Allah be pleased with him) asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) for the salt deposit at Ma'rib, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) intended to give it to him. Thereupon a Companion said to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): "It is like running water that flows continuously." So he (peace and blessings be upon him) declined to give that place.
