[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
