السيوطي:٤-١٠٢٢b

"عَن الشَّعْبِىِّ: أَنَّ عَلِيّا أُتِىَ فِى رَجُلٍ وَجَدَ فِى خَرِبَةٍ أَلْفًا وَخَمْسَ مِائَةِ دِرْهَمٍ بِالسَّوَادِ فَقَالَ: لأَقْضِيَنَّ فِيها قَضَاءً بَيِّنًا، إِنْ كُنْتَ وَجَدْتَهَا فِى خَرِبَةٍ تَحْمِلُ خَرَاجَهَا قَرْيَةٌ عَامِرَةٌ فَهِىَ لَهُمْ، وَإِنْ كَانَ لاَ يَحْمِلُ فَلَكَ أَرْبَعَةُ أَخْمَاسِهِ، وَلَنَا خُمُسُهُ وَسَأُطَيِّبُهُ لَكَ جِمِيعًا".  

الشافعى، أبو عبيد
