وَ إِنِ اشْتَرَى رَجُلٌ نَخْلًا لِيَقْطَعَهُ لِلْجُذُوعِ فَغَابَ وَ تَرَكَ النَّخْلَ كَهَيْئَتِهِ لَمْ يَقْطَعْ ثُمَّ قَدِمَ وَ قَدْ حَمَلَ النَّخْلُ فَالْحَمْلُ لَهُ إِلَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ صَاحِبُ النَّخْلِ كَانَ يَسْقِيهِ وَ يَقُومُ عَلَيْهِ وَ إِنْ أَتَى رَجُلٌ أَرْضاً فَزَرَعَهَا بِغَيْرِ إِذْنِ صَاحِبِهَا فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ الزَّرْعُ جَاءَ صَاحِبُ الْأَرْضِ فَقَالَ زَرَعْتَ بِغَيْرِ إِذْنِي فَزَرْعُكَ لِي وَ عَلَيَّ مَا أَنْفَقْتَ فَلِلزَّارِعِ زَرْعُهُ وَ لِصَاحِبِ الْأَرْضِ كِرَى أَرْضِهِ.
And if a man buys date palms to cut them down for their trunks, but he leaves them as they are without cutting them and later returns to find the palms bearing fruit, the fruit belongs to him-unless the owner of the palms was watering and maintaining them. And if a man plants crops on land without the owner's permission, and when the crops grow, the landowner comes and says, "You planted without my permission, so the crops belong to me, and I will compensate you for your expenses," then the crops belong to the planter, and the landowner is entitled to rent for his land.
