قُلْتُ لِأَبِي الْحَسَنِ ع إِنَّ لَنَا أَكَرَةً فَنُزَارِعُهُمْ فَيَجِيئُونَ وَ يَقُولُونَ لَنَا قَدْ حَزَرْنَا هَذَا الزَّرْعَ بِكَذَا وَ كَذَا فَأَعْطُونَاهُ وَ نَحْنُ نَضْمَنُ لَكُمْ أَنْ نُعْطِيَكُمْ حِصَّتَكُمْ عَلَى هَذَا الْحَزْرِ فَقَالَ وَ قَدْ بَلَغَ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ لَا بَأْسَ بِهَذَا قُلْتُ فَإِنَّهُ يَجِي‌ءُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَيَقُولُ لَنَا إِنَّ الْحَزْرَ لَمْ يَجِئْ كَمَا حَزَرْتُ وَ قَدْ نَقَصَ قَالَ
