Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu'r-Rijal, Muhammad ibnAbdar-Rahman ibn Haritha that his mother, Amra bint Abd ar-Rahman usedto sell her fruit and keep some of it aside. Malik said, "Thegenerally agreed upon way of doing things among us is that when a mansells the fruit of his orchard, he can keep aside up to a third of thefruit, but that is not to be exceeded. There is no harm in what isless than a third." Malik added that he thought there was noharm for a man to sell the fruit of his orchard and keep aside onlythe fruit of a certain palm-tree or palm-trees which he had chosen andwhose number he had specified, because the owner was only keepingaside certain fruit of his own orchard and everything else he sold.
