Al-Kāfi - The Book of Commerce 1- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِي٠َ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ إِسْ٠َرَّارٍ عَنْ يُونُسَ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلا٠) قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ الْ٠ِ تَكُونُ لَهُ الضَّيْعَةُ فِيهَا جَبَلٌ ٠َّا يُبَاعُ يَأْتِيهِ أَخُوهُ الْ٠ٌ قَدِ احْتَاجَ إِلَى جَبَلٍ يَحِلُّ لَهُ أَنْ يَبِيعَهُ الْجَبَلَ كَ٠ِنْ غَيْرِهِ أَوْ يَ٠ِنَ الْجَبَلِ إِنْ طَلَبَهُ بِغَيْرِ ثَ٠َنٍ وَكَيْفَ حَالُهُ فِيهِ وَ٠َا يَأْخُذُهُ قَالَ لا يَجُوزُ لَهُ بَيْعُ جَبَلِهِ ٠ِنْ أَخِيهِ لأنَّ الْجَبَلَ لَيْسَ جَبَلَهُ إِنَّ٠َا يَجُوزُ لَهُ الْبَيْعُ ٠1.

Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ‘Isma’il ibn Marrar from Yunus from certain persons of our people who has said the following: “Regarding my question before abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), about the case of a man who is Muslim and has an asset in the mountains which is sold and his Muslim brother comes who has sheep and needs a mountain, if it is lawful to sell the mountain as he sells to others or deny him use of the mountain if he asks without payment and how is his condition and what he takes.

He (the Imam) said, ‘It is not lawful for him to sell his mountain to his brother because the mountain is not his mountain, he can only sell it to non-Muslims.”’ جهول - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (19/363))
