أَخْبَرَنَا سُوَيْدٌ قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ بْنِ دِينَارٍ عَنْ مُصْعَبِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ قَالَ کَانَ لِسَعْدٍ کُرُومٌ وَأَعْنَابٌ کَثِيرَةٌ وَکَانَ لَهُ فِيهَا أَمِينٌ فَحَمَلَتْ عِنَبًا کَثِيرًا فَکَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ إِنِّي أَخَافُ عَلَی الْأَعْنَابِ الضَّيْعَةَ فَإِنْ رَأَيْتَ أَنْ أَعْصُرَهُ عَصَرْتُهُ فَکَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ سَعْدٌ إِذَا جَائَکَ کِتَابِي هَذَا فَاعْتَزِلْ ضَيْعَتِي فَوَاللَّهِ لَا أَئْتَمِنُکَ عَلَی شَيْئٍ بَعْدَهُ أَبَدًا فَعَزَلَهُ عَنْ ضَيْعَتِهِ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 5729
It was narrated that Mus’ab bin Saad said: “Saad had many grapevines and he had someone looking after them for him. (The vines) bore many grapes, and that man wrote to him (saying): ‘I am afraid that the grapes will be wasted; what do you think if I squeeze them to make juice?’ Saad wrote to him (saying): ‘When this letter of mine reaches you, leave my land, for by Allah I cannot trust you with anything ever again.’ So he made him leave his land.” (Sahih)
