Tirmidhi Book 15, Hadith 1380

قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قُلْتُ لِقُتَيْبَةَ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَكُمْ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ قَيْسٍ الْمَأْرِبِيُّ،‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ ثُمَامَةَ بْنِ شَرَاحِيلَ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ سُمَيِّ بْنِ قَيْسٍ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ سُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ أَبْيَضَ بْنِ حَمَّالٍ، أَنَّهُ وَفَدَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَاسْتَقْطَعَهُ الْمِلْحَ،‏‏‏‏ فَقَطَعَ لَهُ،‏‏‏‏ فَلَمَّا أَنْ وَلَّى قَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْمَجْلِسِ:‏‏‏‏ أَتَدْرِي مَا قَطَعْتَ لَهُ،‏‏‏‏ إِنَّمَا قَطَعْتَ لَهُ الْمَاءَ الْعِدَّ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَانْتَزَعَهُ مِنْهُ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ وَسَأَلَهُ عَمَّا يُحْمَى مِنَ الْأَرَاكِ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ مَا لَمْ تَنَلْهُ خِفَافُ الْإِبِلِ ،‏‏‏‏ فَأَقَرَّ بِهِ قُتَيْبَةُ،‏‏‏‏ وَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ نَعَمْ. حَدَّثَنَا ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَرَ.

Narrated Shumair: that Abyad bin Hammal visited the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) who asked him to set aside a reserve of salt(a mine). So he reserved it for him. As he was turning away, a man in the gathering said: Do you know what you reserved for him ? You merely reserved stagnant water for him. He (Shumair) said: So he left him. He (Shumair) said: So he asked him (the Prophet (ﷺ)) about making a private pasture of Arak (a type of tree). He said: As long as it is not harmed by the hooves of the camels. So I (At-Tirmidhi) recited that before Qutaibah and he said: Yes . (Another chain) with similar meaning.
