Section: If he says: "I sold you this village," if there is a context in the wording—such as bargaining over its land, or mentioning the crops and plantings within it, or mentioning its boundaries, or offering a price that is only appropriate for it and its land—it enters into the sale. This is because the name may be applied to it along with its land, and the context directs to it and indicates it, so it is similar to if he had stated it explicitly. If there is no context directing to that, the sale encompasses the houses and the fortress surrounding them, for "village" is a name for that, and it is derived from gathering, because it gathers the people. It is the same whether he says "with its rights" or does not say it. As for the plantings between its buildings, their ruling is the ruling of plantings in land: if he says "with its rights," it enters, and if he does not say it, there are two views.
Section: If he sells him a house with its rights, the sale includes its land, its structure, and what is connected to it of its beneficial items, such as installed doors, buried jars, nailed shelves, driven pegs, the installed stone of a millstone, and similar things. It does not enter into the sale what is not of its beneficial items, such as treasure and buried stones; because those are deposited in it for the purpose of being removed, so it is similar to furniture and curtains. Nor does what was separated from it that is specific to its benefit enter, such as furniture, curtains, food, shelves placed on pegs without nailing, nor [does] a rope in the wall, a rope, a bucket, a pulley, a lock, and the millstone—if neither of them is installed—and jars placed without being plastered over, and the like; because it is separated from it and not specific to its benefit, so it is similar to clothing. As for that which is of its beneficial items but is separated from it, such as a key and the upper stone of a millstone when the lower one is installed, there are two potential views. One: it enters into the sale, because it is for its benefit, so it is similar to that which is installed in it. Second: it does not enter, because it is separated from it, so it is similar to the lower [stone] when it is not installed, and the lock, the bucket, and the like. The school of Al-Shafi'i regarding this is exactly like our school.
