١٢٧٢ - حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ ، عَنِ الْأَعْرَجِ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «لَا يُمْنَعُ فَضْلُ» الْمَاءِ، لِيُمْنَعَ بِهِ الْكَلَأُ (١). هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ. وَأَبُو الْمِنْهَالِ اسْمُهُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مُطْعِمٍ، كُوفِيٌّ، وَهُوَ الَّذِي رَوَى عَنْهُ حَبِيبُ بْنُ أَبِي ثَابِتٍ. وَأَبُو الْمِنْهَالِ سَيَّارُ بْنُ سَلَامَةَ، بَصْرِيٌّ، صَاحِبُ أَبِي بَرْزَةَ الْأَسْلَمِيِّ.

One who has a well or source of water near a pasture, he is not allowed to put restrictions on his surplus water. He should allow the people to use the water for their animals and domestic needs.
