وَ عَنْهُ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ هَلْ فِي اَلْأَرُزِّ شَيْءٌ فَقَالَ» نَعَمْ« ثُمَّ قَالَ» إِنَّ اَلْمَدِينَةَ لَمْ تَكُنْ يَوْمَئِذٍ أَرْضَ أَرُزٍّ فَيُقَالَ فِيهِ وَ لَكِنَّهُ قَدْ جُعِلَ فِيهِ وَ كَيْفَ لاَ يَكُونُ فِيهِ وَ عَامَّةُ خَرَاجِ اَلْعِرَاقِ مِنْهُ«.
And from him, from Ibrahim, from Hammad, from Hariz, from Abu Basir, who said:
I (narrator) said to Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him: “Is there anything due on rice?” Imam عليه السلام said: “Yes.” Then Imam عليه السلام said: “Indeed, Madinah at that time was not a land of rice, so that it would be mentioned regarding it. But it has indeed been placed in it, and how could there not be anything due on it, when most of the land tax (kharaj) of Iraq is from it?”
