أحمد:١٥٨١١حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ قَالَ الْحَكَمُ أَخْبَرَنِي عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ عَنْ رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ قَالَ

نَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنِ الْحَقْلِ قَالَ قُلْتُ وَمَا الْحَقْلُ؟ قَالَ الثُّلُثُ وَالرُّبُعُ فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ ذَلِكَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ كَرِهَ الثُّلُثَ وَالرُّبُعَ وَلَمْ يَرَ بَأْسًا بِالْأَرْضِ الْبَيْضَاءِ يَأْخُذُهَا بِالدَّرَاهِمِ
