3869 - وَ سَأَلَهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ اِشْتَرَى قَصِيلاً فَلَمْ يَقْصِلْهُ وَ تَرَكَهُ حَتَّى صَارَ شَعِيراً وَ قَدْ كَانَ اِشْتَرَطَ عَلَى اَلْعِلْجِ يَوْمَ اِشْتَرَاهُ أَنَّهُ مَا يَأْتِيهِ مِنْ نَائِبَةٍ أَنَّهُ عَلَى اَلْعِلْجِ فَقَالَ "إِنْ كَانَ اِشْتَرَطَ عَلَى اَلْعِلْجِ يَوْمَ اِشْتَرَاهُ أَنَّهُ إِنْ شَاءَ جَعَلَهُ سُنْبُلاً وَ إِنْ شَاءَ جَعَلَهُ قَصِيلاً فَلَهُ شَرْطُهُ وَ إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنِ اِشْتَرَطَ فَلاَ يَنْبَغِي لَهُ أَنْ يَدَعَهُ حَتَّى يَكُونَ سُنْبُلاً فَإِنْ فَعَلَ فَإِنَّ عَلَيْهِ طَسْقَهُ وَ نَفَقَتَهُ وَ لَهُ مَا يَخْرُجُ مِنْهُ ".
Hadith.3869 - Sama'ah asked him about a man who purchased fodder crops but did not harvest them and left them until they turned into barley. He had stipulated with the landowner at the time of purchase that any incident or damage would be the responsibility of the landowner.
Imam said: "If he stipulated with the landowner at the time of purchase that he may leave it to grow into spikes or cut it as fodder, then he is bound by his condition. However, if he did not stipulate this, it is not proper for him to leave it until it becomes spikes. If he does so, then he is responsible for its tax and expenses, and he is entitled to what it produces."
