2472 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ خِرَاشِ بْنِ حَوْشَبٍ الشَّيْبَانِيُّ، عَنِ الْعَوَّامِ بْنِ حَوْشَبٍ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " الْمُسْلِمُونَ شُرَكَاءُ فِي ثَلَاثٍ: فِي الْمَاءِ، وَالْكَلَإِ، وَالنَّارِ، وَثَمَنُهُ حَرَامٌ " قَالَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ: «يَعْنِي الْمَاءَ الْجَارِيَ»

Here, water means running water, like the water of a river or fountain. Everyone has the right to use the water according to his needs, and it must be unrestrained for others to use. If someone has constructed a pond or dug a well or installed a water hand pump for his personal use, it is better for him to let other people use it. It is obvious that he has the first right over its use. b. Everyone has the right to use wild grass for his animals and other uses, and similarly, everyone can use the wood of wild plants for fuel. After cutting the wild plant the cut wood becomes the property of the cutter, so he can sell it as well.
