Arabic hadith text

وَعَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «فِيمَا سَقَتِ السَّمَاءُ وَالْعُيُونُ أَوْ كَانَ عَثَرِيًّا الْعُشْرُ. وَمَا سقِِي بالنضح نصف الْعشْر» . رَوَاهُ البُخَارِيّ

Translation

Abdullah ibn Umar reported that the Prophet ﷺ said: ‘For what is watered by the sky and springs, or draws water from underground, one tenth is due. For what is watered by irrigation, half of one tenth is due.’ Al-Bukhari transmitted it.

Translation notes

  • The Arabic calls the last category ʿathariyyan, referring to crops drawing water naturally from below ground; the English witness says underground moisture.
