English Translation
Ibn Mas'ud narrated that a man was watering his crop when he saw a cloud moving and heard a voice in it saying: 'Water the land of so-and-so.' He followed the voice until it reached the land that was named. He asked its owner: 'What do you do with it?' He said: 'I reinvest a third, give a third in charity, and keep a third for my family.'
