" عَنْ أَبْيضَ () بْنِ حَمَّالٍ قَالَ: إِنَّهُ وَفَد إِلَى رَسُولِ الله ﷺ فَاسْتَقْطَعَهُ الْمِلحَ الَّذِى بِمَأرِب فَقَطعَهُ لَهُ فَلَمَّا أَنْ ولَّى قَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْمَجْلِسِ: أتَدْرِى مَا قَطَعْتَ لَهُ؟ إِنَّمَا قَطَعْتَ لَهُ الْمَاءَ العِدّ () فانتزع منه قَالَ: وَسَأَلْتُهُ عَمَّا يَحْمِى مِنَ الأرَاكِ؟ قَالَ: مَا لَمْ تَنَلْهُ أَخْفَافُ الإِبِلِ".

"From Abyaḍ b. Hammāl, who said: He came as a delegate to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and asked him to grant him the salt that is at Maʾrib, so he granted it to him. When he turned to leave, a man from the gathering said: Do you know what you have granted him? You have only granted him the ever-flowing water (al-māʾ al-ʿidd). So it was taken back from him. He said: And I asked him about what may be protected of the arāk trees. He said: What the feet of the camels do not reach."
