Abyad went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and asked him for assigning him (the mines of) salt as fief. (The narrator Ibn al-Mutawakkil said: which was in Ma'arib.) So he assigned it to him as a fief. When he returned, a man in the meeting asked: Do you know what you have assigned him as a fief? You have assigned him the perennial spring water. So he took it back from him. He asked him about protecting land which had arak trees growing in it. He replied: He could have such as was beyond the region where the hoofs (of camels) went. The narrator Ibn al-Mutwakkil said: "that is the camel hoofs." (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3064)   

أَنَّهُ وَفَدَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَاسْتَقْطَعَهُ الْمِلْحَ قَالَ ابْنُ الْمُتَوَكِّلِ الَّذِي بِمَأْرِبَ فَقَطَعَهُ لَهُ فَلَمَّا أَنْ وَلَّى قَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْمَجْلِسِ أَتَدْرِي مَا قَطَعْتَ لَهُ إِنَّمَا قَطَعْتَ لَهُ الْمَاءَ الْعِدَّ قَالَ فَانْتُزِعَ مِنْهُ قَالَ وَسَأَلْتُهُ عَمَّا يُحْمَى مِنَ الْأَرَاكِ قَالَ مَا لَمْ تَنَلْهُ خِفَافٌ وَقَالَ ابْنُ الْمُتَوَكِّلِ أَخْفَافُ الْإِبِلِ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ asked for the salt that was in Ma'rib, intending to cut it. A man said, "It is like flowing water," so he refused to cut it. Al-Asma'ee said, "It is the perpetual flowing water that does not cease, and it is like the water of a spring and a well."  

أَنَّهُ اسْتَقْطَعَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ الْمِلْحَ الَّذِي بِمَأْرِبَ فَأَرَادَ أَنَ يُقْطِعَهُ إِيَّاهُ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ إِنَّهُ كَالْمَاءِ الْعِدِّ فَأَبَى أَنَ يُقْطِعَهُ قَالَ الْأَصْمَعِيُّ الْمَاءُ الْعِدُّ الدَّائِمُ الَّذِي لَا انْقِطَاعَ لَهُ وَهُوَ مِثْلُ مَاءِ الْعَيْنِ وَمَاءِ الْبِئْرِ  

My father sought permission from the Prophet ﷺ. (When permission was granted and he came near him) he lifted his shirt, and began to kiss him and embrace him (out of love for him). He asked: Messenger of Allah, what is the thing which it is unlawful to refuse? He replied: Water. He again asked: Prophet of Allah, what is the thing which it is unlawful to refuse? He replied: Salt. He again asked: Prophet of Allah, what is the thing which it is unlawful to refuse? He said: To do good is better for you. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1669)   

قَالَتِ اسْتَأْذَنَ أَبِي النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَدَخَلَ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ قَمِيصِهِ فَجَعَلَ يُقَبِّلُ وَيَلْتَزِمُ ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ مَا الشَّيْءُ الَّذِي لَا يَحِلُّ مَنْعُهُ؟ قَالَ الْمَاءُ قَالَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ مَا الشَّيْءُ الَّذِي لَا يَحِلُّ مَنْعُهُ؟ قَالَ الْمِلْحُ قَالَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ مَا الشَّيْءُ الَّذِي لَا يَحِلُّ مَنْعُهُ؟ قَالَ أَنْ تَفْعَلَ الْخَيْرَ خَيْرٌ لَكَ  

Abdullah ibn Hasan al-Anbari said: My grandmothers, Safiyyah and Duhaybah, narrated to me, that hey were the daughters of Ulaybah and were nourished by Qaylah, daughter of Makhramah. She was the grandmother of their father. She reported to them, saying: We came upon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. My companion, Hurayth ibn Hassan, came to him as a delegate from Bakr ibn Wa'il. He took the oath of allegiance of Islam for himself and for his people. He then said: Messenger of Allah ﷺ, write a document for us, giving us the land lying between us and Banu Tamim at ad-Dahna' to the effect that not one of them will cross it in our direction except a traveller or a passer-by. He said: Write down ad-Dahna' for them, boy. When I saw that he passed orders to give it to him, I became anxious, for it was my native land and my home. I said: Messenger of Allah, he did not ask you for a true border when he asked you. This land of Dahna' is a place where the camels have their home, and it is a pasture for the sheep. The women of Banu Tamim and their children are beyond it. He said: Stop, boy! A poor woman spoke the truth: a Muslim is a brother of a Muslim. Each one of them may benefit from water and trees, and they should cooperate with each other against Satan. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3070)   

حَدَّثَتْنِي جَدَّتَايَ صَفِيَّةُ وَدُحَيْبَةُ ابْنَتَا عُلَيْبَةَ وَكَانَتَا رَبِيبَتَيْ قَيْلَةَ بِنْتِ مَخْرَمَةَ وَكَانَتْ جَدَّةَ أَبِيهِمَا أَنَّهَا أَخْبَرَتْهُمَا قَالَتْ قَدِمْنَا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَتْ فَقَدِمَ صَاحِبِي تَعْنِي حُرَيْثَ بْنَ حَسَّانَ وَافِدَ بَنِي بَكْرِ بْنِ وَائِلٍ فَبَايَعَهُ عَلَى الْإِسْلَامِ عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَى قَوْمِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ اكْتُبْ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَ بَنِي تَمِيمٍ بِالدَّهْنَاءِ أَنْ لَا يُجَاوِزَهَا إِلَيْنَا مِنْهُمْ إِلَّا مُسَافِرٌ أَوْ مُجَاوِرٌ فَقَالَ اكْتُبْ لَهُ يَا غُلَامُ بِالدَّهْنَاءِ فَلَمَّا رَأَيْتُهُ قَدْ أَمَرَ لَهُ بِهَا شُخِصَ بِي وَهِيَ وَطَنِي وَدَارِي فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّهُ لَمْ يَسْأَلْكَ السَّوِيَّةَ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ إِذْ سَأَلَكَ إِنَّمَا هِيَ هَذِهِ الدَّهْنَاءُ عِنْدَكَ مُقَيَّدُ الْجَمَلِ وَمَرْعَى الْغَنَمِ وَنِسَاءُ بَنِي تَمِيمٍ وَأَبْنَاؤُهَا وَرَاءَ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ أَمْسِكْ يَا غُلَامُ صَدَقَتِ الْمِسْكِينَةُ الْمُسْلِمُ أَخُو الْمُسْلِمِ يَسَعُهُمَا الْمَاءُ وَالشَّجَرُ وَيَتَعَاوَنَانِ عَلَى الْفَتَّانِ  

[Machine] He heard a man from the Muhajirin, from the companions of the Prophet ﷺ , saying, "I participated in three battles with the Prophet ﷺ , and I heard him saying, 'The Muslims are partners in three things: water, pasture, and fire.' Abu Khidash is Hubbān ibn Zayd al-Sharabi, and likewise..."  

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ غَزَوْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ ثَلَاثًا أَسْمَعُهُ يَقُولُ الْمُسْلِمُونَ شُرَكَاءُ فِي ثَلَاثٍ الْمَاءِ وَالْكَلَأِ وَالنَّارِ أَبُو خِدَاشٍ هُوَ حِبَّانُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ الشَّرْعَبِيُّ وَكَذَلِكَ  

[Machine] From Thawr ibn Yazid that he narrated it to the Prophet ﷺ, he said, "The Muslims are partners in grazing land, water, and fire." Thawr transmitted it from Thawr and indeed Thawr took it from Hariz.  

عَنْ ثَوْرِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ يَرْفَعُهُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ شُرَكَاءُ فِي الْكَلَأِ وَالْمَاءِ وَالنَّارِ أَرْسَلَهُ الثَّوْرِيُّ عَنْ ثَوْرٍ وَإِنَّمَا أَخَذَهُ ثَوْرٌ عَنْ حَرِيزٍ  

[Machine] About a man from the companions of the Prophet ﷺ who said, "I participated in seven or three military expeditions with the Prophet ﷺ and I heard him saying, 'Muslims are partners in three things: water, pasture, and fire.'" He said, "I also heard Abu Hafs saying that I asked Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) about this matter and he narrated to me that Hariz ibn Uthman narrated to us that Hibban ibn Zaid ash-Sharabi narrated from a man from the companions of the Prophet ﷺ who said, 'I participated in a military expedition with the Prophet ﷺ .' Abu Hafs then came to us and Yazid ibn Harun narrated to us which I think is from Hariz. Hibban ibn Zaid ash-Sharabi. As for Yazid ibn Harun, he says it alone: 'Hibban.'"  

عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ غَزَوْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ سَبْعَ غَزَوَاتٍ أَوْ ثَلَاثَ غَزَوَاتٍ فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ الْمُسْلِمُونَ شُرَكَاءُ فِي ثَلَاثٍ فِي الْمَاءِ وَالْكَلَأِ وَالنَّارِ قَالَ وَسَمِعْتُ أَبَا حَفْصٍ يَقُولُ وَسَأَلْتُ عَنْهُ مُعَاذًا فَحَدَّثَنِي قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي حَرِيزُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ حَدَّثَنَا حِبَّانَ بْنُ زَيْدٍ الشَّرْعَبِيُّ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ غَزَوْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ أَبُو حَفْصٍ ثُمَّ قَدِمَ عَلَيْنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ فَحَدَّثَنَا بِهِ أَظُنُّهُ عَنْ حَرِيزٍ ثنا حِبَّانُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ الشَّرْعَبِيُّ يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ وَحْدَهُ يَقُولُ حَبَّانَ
