Man Lā Yaḥḍuruh al-Faqīh|Volume 3|Book 2|Chapter 14
وَ رَوَى شُعَيْبٌ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: "إِذَا تَقَبَّلْتَ أَرْضاً بِطِيبَةِ نَفْسِ أَهْلِهَا عَلَى شَرْطٍ شَارَطْتَهُمْ عَلَيْهِ فَإِنَّ لَكَ كُلَّ فَضْلٍ فِي حَرْثِهَا إِذَا وَفَيْتَ لَهُمْ وَ إِنَّكَ إِنْ رَمَمْتَ فِيهَا مَرَمَّةً وَ أَحْدَثْتَ فِيهَا بِنَاءً فَإِنَّ لَكَ أَجْرَ بُيُوتِهَا إِلاَّ مَا كَانَ فِي أَيْدِي دَهَاقِينِهَا".
Shu'ayb narrated from Abu Basir, from Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, who said: "If you lease land with the consent of its owners, based on specific conditions you agreed upon with them, then any surplus from its cultivation belongs to you, provided you fulfill your agreement with them. If you repair anything in it or construct buildings on it, then you are entitled to the rent of its buildings, except for what is already in the possession of its cultivators (dahaaqeen)."
