[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prohibit the selling of water. Al-Shafi'i mentioned in his Sunan that Harimla transmitted this report from Sufyan. Then he said, the meaning of this hadith is that water should be sold in the place where Allah created it. For example, if a man brings water from the desert and uses it to drink and his livestock also benefit from it, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prohibited the owner of the water from selling the excess and forbade him from preventing others from using it. Then he mentioned that if someone carries the water on his back, it is permissible for him to sell it to others, as he is the owner of what he carries. The sheikh said, and it has been  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَنْهَىعَنْ بَيْعِ الْمَاءِ ذَكَرَ الشَّافِعِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ فِي سُنَنِ حَرْمَلَةَ عَنْهُ هَذَا الْخَبَرَ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ ثُمَّ قَالَ مَعْنَى هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ أَنْ يُبَاعَ الْمَاءُ فِي الْمَوْضِعِ الَّذِي خَلَقَهُ اللهُ فِيهِ وَذَلِكَ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ بِالْبَادِيَةِ الرَّجُلُ لَهُ الْبِئْرُ لِيَسْقِيَ بِهَا مَاشِيَتَهُ وَيَكُونُ فِي مَائِهَا فَضْلٌ عَنْ مَاشِيَتِهِ فَنَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَالِكَ الْمَاءِ عَنْ بَيْعِ ذَلِكَ الْفَضْلِ وَنَهَاهُ عَنْ مَنْعِهِ ثُمَّ سَاقَ الْكَلَامَ إِلَى أَنَّهُ إِذَا حَمَلَ الْمَاءَ عَلَى ظَهْرِهِ فَلَا بَأْسَ أَنْ يَبِيعَهُ مِنْ غَيْرِهِ؛ لِأَنَّهُ مَالِكٌ لِمَا حَمَلَ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ وَقَدْ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade selling the virtue of water.  

نَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنْ بَيْعِ فَضْلِ الْمَاءِ  

[Machine] It is reported that the Prophet ﷺ forbade the sale of water and the striking of camels. He also said that a person should not sell his land and water. The scholar said regarding this narration that when the Prophet mentioned the selling of land and water, he intended for it (the land) to be irrigated with water for cultivation.  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ نَهَى عَنْ بَيْعِ الْمَاءِ وَعَنْ ضِرَابِ الْجَمَلِ وَأَنْ يَبِيعَ الرَّجُلُ أَرْضَهُ وَمَاءَهُ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ قَوْلُهُ فِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ وَأَنْ يَبِيعَ الرَّجُلُ أَرْضَهُ وَمَاءَهُ فَإِنَّمَا أَرَادَ بِهِ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ أَنْ يُكْرِيَهَا مَعَ الْمَاءِ لِلْحَرْثِ بِبَعْضِ مَا يَخْرُجُ مِنْهَا فَقَدْ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The benefit of water should not be sold in order to sell the impurities."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا يُبَاعُ فَضْلُ الْمَاءِ لِيُبَاعَ بِهِ الْكَلَأُ  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade the sale of excess water. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3478)   

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَنْهَى عَنْ بَيْعِ فَضْلِ الْمَاءِ  

[Machine] "He removes it and carries it, there is no harm in it, for it is not like the virtue of the water that disappears in the ground."  

هَذَا يَنْزِعُهُ وَيَحْمِلُهُ لَا بَأْسَ بِهِ لَيْسَ كَفَضْلِ الْمَاءِ الَّذِي يَذْهَبُ فِي الْأَرْضِ
