حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي زَائِدَةَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ قَالَ:
سَأَلْتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ بْنَ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ حَزْمٍ عَنِ الْأَعْطَانِ، فَقَالَ: أَمَّا أَهْلُ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَكَانَتْ خَمْسِينَ ذِرَاعًا لِنَاحِيَتِهَا يَكُونُ بَيْنَ الْبِئْرَيْنِ مِائَةٌ. فَلَمَّا كَانَ الْإِسْلَامُ رَأَوْا أَنَّ دُونَ ذَلِكَ مُجْزِئٌ، فَجُعِلَ لِكُلِّ بِئْرٍ خَمْسٌ وَعِشْرُونَ ذِرَاعًا، لِنَاحِيَتَيْهَا [١]خَمْسُونَ ذِرَاعًا

I asked Abū Bakr b. Muḥammad b. ʿAmr b. Ḥazm about the aʿṭān (the areas around wells). He said: As for the people of the Jāhiliyyah, it was fifty cubits on each side, so that there would be a hundred between two wells. When Islam came, they saw that less than that was sufficient, so twenty-five cubits were set for each well, on each of its two sides [1] fifty cubits.
