حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ خُبَيْبِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ جَائَ سَهْلُ بْنُ أَبِي حَثْمَةَ إِلَی مَجْلِسِنَا قَالَ أَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ إِذَا خَرَصْتُمْ فَجُذُّوا وَدَعُوا الثُّلُثَ فَإِنْ لَمْ تَدَعُوا أَوْ تَجُذُّوا الثُّلُثَ فَدَعُوا الرُّبْعَ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد الْخَارِصُ يَدَعُ الثُّلُثَ لِلْحِرْفَةِ
