Chapter on Sharecropping and Leasing
Man Lā Yaḥḍuruh al-Faqīh|Volume 3|Book 2|Chapter 14
وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَطِيَّةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يَقُولُ: "إِنَّ اَللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ اِخْتَارَ لِأَنْبِيَائِهِ عَلَيْهِمُ اَلسَّلاَمُ اَلْحَرْثَ وَ اَلزَّرْعَ لِئَلاَّ يَكْرَهُوا شَيْئاً مِنْ قَطْرِ اَلسَّمَاءِ ".
It is narrated from Muhammad bin Atiyyah, who said: I heard Abu Abdillah عليه السلام say: "Indeed, Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Mighty and Glorious, chose farming and cultivation for His prophets (peace be upon them) so that they would not dislike anything from the rainfall."
