باب وَضْعِ الْجَوَائِحِ ‏‏

Sahih Muslim 1555c
حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبَّادٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ ‏ ‏.‏
"‏ إِنْ لَمْ يُثْمِرْهَا اللَّهُ فَبِمَ يَسْتَحِلُّ أَحَدُكُمْ مَالَ أَخِيهِ ‏"
Anas (Allah be pleased with him) reported Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) as saying:

If Allah does not fructify them, then what is permissible for one of you to take the wealth of his brother?
