Al-Kāfi|Volume 5|Book 2|Chapter 139
3- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) وَعَنِ السَّابَاطِيِّ وَعَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) أَنَّهُمْ سَأَلُوهُمَا عَنْ شِرَاءِ أَرْضِ الدَّهَاقِينِ مِنْ أَرْضِ الْجِزْيَةِ فَقَالَ إِنَّهُ إِذَا كَانَ ذَلِكَ انْتُزِعَتْ مِنْكَ أَوْ تُؤَدِّيَ عَنْهَا مَا عَلَيْهَا مِنَ الْخَرَاجِ قَالَ عَمَّارٌ ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَيَّ فَقَالَ اشْتَرِهَا فَإِنَّ لَكَ مِنَ الْحَقِّ مَا هُوَ أَكْثَرُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ.
3. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Hammad ibn ‘Isa from Hariz from Muhammad ibn Muslim from abu Ja‘far عليه السلام, and from al-Sabatiy and from Zurarah who has said the following: “This is regarding their question before one of the two Imam, (abu Ja’far or abu ‘Abd Allah), ‘Alayhim al-Salam, about buying the land of farmers of al-Kharaj land. He (the Imam) عليه السلام, said, ‘On its coming (the time of the rise of al-Mahdiy with Divine Authority and Power) the land will be taken away or you pay what is due on it of al-Kharaj.’ ‘Ammar has said that he (the Imam) then turned to me and said, “You can buy it because your right on it is more than that of others.’””
