أَخْبَرَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ يَحْيَی بْنِ حَمْزَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ عَنْ عَطَائٍ عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ کَانَ لِأُنَاسٍ فُضُولُ أَرَضِينَ يُکْرُونَهَا بِالنِّصْفِ وَالثُّلُثِ وَالرُّبُعِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْ کَانَتْ لَهُ أَرْضٌ فَلْيَزْرَعْهَا أَوْ يُزْرِعْهَا أَوْ يُمْسِکْهَا وَافَقَهُ مَطَرُ بْنُ طَهْمَانَ
