Arabic hadith text
أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا شَرِيكٌ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الأَسْوَدِ، قَالَ كَانَ عَمَّاىَ يَزْرَعَانِ بِالثُّلُثِ وَالرُّبُعِ وَأَبِي شَرِيكَهُمَا وَعَلْقَمَةُ وَالأَسْوَدُ يَعْلَمَانِ فَلاَ يُغَيِّرَانِ.
Translation
ʿAli ibn Hujr reported to us: Sharik informed us, from Abu Ishaq, from ʿAbd al-Rahman ibn al-Aswad, who said: ‘My two paternal uncles used to cultivate land for a third or a quarter. My father was their partner, and ʿAlqamah and al-Aswad knew of it but did not object.’
