١- عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَسَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْكَرْخِيِّ قَالَ قُلْتُ لأبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) أُشَارِكُ الْعِلْجَ فَيَكُونُ مِنْ عِنْدِيَ الأرْضُ وَالْبَذْرُ وَالْبَقَرُ وَيَكُونُ عَلَى الْعِلْجِ الْقِيَامُ وَالسَّقْيُ وَالْعَمَلُ فِي الزَّرْعِ حَتَّى يَصِيرَ حِنْطَةً وَشَعِيراً وَيَكُونُ الْقِسْمَةُ فَيَأْخُذُ السُّلْطَانُ حَقَّهُ وَيَبْقَى مَا بَقِيَ عَلَى أَنَّ لِلْعِلْجِ مِنْهُ الثُّلُثَ وَلِيَ الْبَاقِيَ قَالَ لا بَأْسَ بِذَلِكَ قُلْتُ فَلِي عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يَرُدَّ عَلَيَّ مِمَّا أَخْرَجَتِ الأرْضُ الْبَذْرَ وَيُقْسَمُ الْبَاقِي قَالَ إِنَّمَا شَارَكْتَهُ عَلَى أَنَّ الْبَذْرَ مِنْ عِنْدِكَ وَعَلَيْهِ السَّقْيُ وَالْقِيَامُ.
1. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Sahl ibn Ziyad from al-Hassan ibn Mahbub from Ibrahim al-Karkhiy who has narrated the following: “I once said to abu ‘Abd Allah , ‘I become a partner of an al-‘ilj (a great non-Muslim person). I provide land, seed, and the bull. Al-‘ilj does the plantation and other works for the farm. When the wheat or barely comes, the produce is divided; al-Sultan takes away his right, one-third is for al-‘ilj and the remaining is for me. He (the Imam) said, ‘It is not unlawful.’ I then asked if the seed can be given to me from the produce of the land and the rest is divided. He (the Imam) said, ‘You have formed a partnership which required you to provide the seed and he must provide water and other works.’”
