Sunan Abi Dawud: Book 9, Hadith 50

AbdurRahman ibn Mas’ud said: Sahl ibn Abu Hathmah came to our gathering. He said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) commanding us said: When you estimate take them leaving a third, and if you do not leave or find a third, leave a quarter.

حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ خُبَيْبِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ جَاءَ سَهْلُ بْنُ أَبِي حَثْمَةَ إِلَى مَجْلِسِنَا قَالَ أَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏
“‏ إِذَا خَرَصْتُمْ فَخُذُوا وَدَعُوا الثُّلُثَ فَإِنْ لَمْ تَدَعُوا أَوْ تَجِدُوا الثُّلُثَ فَدَعُوا الرُّبُعَ ‏”‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ الْخَارِصُ يَدَعُ الثُّلُثَ لِلْحِرْفَةِ ‏.‏
