A. 艾布·哈尼法及其门徒转述了上帝的使者(ﷺ)的言论
A. Abu Hanifah and his disciples present the saying of the Messenger of God (p)
"在rikaz上应缴纳五分之一。"26 他们补充说,从地下可以取出两种东西:
"One-fifth is obligated on rikaz."26 They add that two things can be extracted from earth:
第一类是人们埋藏的宝藏,第二类是真主所创造的矿藏。
the first is treasures buried by human beings and the second is minerals created by God.
"رِكاز"一词兼指两者:其字面含义是矿藏,其引申含义是宝藏。27
The word rikaz includes both; its literal meaning is minerals and its allegorical meaning is treasures.27
另一方面,马立克、沙斐仪以及大多数希贾兹地区的法学家认为,矿产不属于拉克兹(rikaz),拉克兹仅指人们埋藏在地下的宝藏。他们引用了群体所记载的一段圣训,即艾布·胡赖赖传述,先知ﷺ说:“牲畜造成的损害不予赔偿,在井中(工作)时造成的损害不予赔偿,在(开采)矿产时造成的损害不予赔偿,而拉克兹须缴纳五分之一。”他们主张,既然先知ﷺ在矿产与拉克兹之间使用了连接词“和”加以区分,那么两者必定是两种不同的事物。
On the other hand, Malik, al Shafi'i, and most Hijazi jurists argue that minerals are not rikaz and that rikaz only means treasures buried by people in the earth. They cite the saying, reported by the group, from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet (p) said, "Harm inflicted by animals is unclaimable, and harm inflicted while (working inside) a well is unclaimable, and harm inflicted while (extracting) minerals is unclaimable, and one-fifth is obligated on rikaz." They argue that since the Prophet makes a distinction between minerals and rikaz, using the article "and" between them, they must be two different things.
反对者哈乃斐学派随后辩称,"里卡兹"一词必须包括矿物,因为先知提到矿物时,所指的是开采过程中造成的伤害。如果他接着说"其中五分之一是应当缴纳的",那么埋藏的宝藏可能就会逃脱课征。正因为存在这种可能的歧义,先知才使用了更为普遍的词"里卡兹",它既包括矿物,也包括埋藏的宝藏。[28] 没有任何语言学专家能够平息这一争论,因为伊拉克和希贾兹的法学家中都有精通阿拉伯语的人,例如穆罕默德·本·哈桑和沙斐仪。
The opposing Hanafites then argue that minerals must be included in the Prophet's word rikaz, because when he mentioned minerals he was talking about the harm inflicted in their extraction. If he had then said, "and one-fifth is obligated on them," buried treasures may have remained uncharged. Because of that possibility of ambiguity, the Prophet used a more general word, rikaz, which includes both minerals and buried treasures.28 No language specialist could put an end to this dispute, because both the Iraqi and the Hijazi jurists include people who are well versed in Arabic, such as Muhammad bin al Hasan and al Shafi'i.
看来"رِكَاز"一词实际上有两种含义。《Al Qamus》及其他阿拉伯语词典将"رِكَاز"定义为真主埋藏在地下的矿物,以及古人埋藏的金属制品(金银块)。伊本·艾西尔在《al Nihayah》中说,根据希贾兹人的说法,"رِكَاز"指埋在地下的古代宝藏;而根据伊拉克人的说法,"رِكَاز"指矿物。从语言学上讲,两种含义都是可能的,因为二者都是被放置在地下并在其中固定下来的东西。30
It seems that the word rikaz has in fact two meanings. Al Qamus and other Arabic dictionaries define rikaz as minerals God put in the ground and what the ancients buried of metalic pieces of gold and silver.29 Ibn al Athir in al Nihayah says that according to the Hijazis, rikaz means ancient treasures buried in the ground, and according to the 'Iraqis, rikaz means minerals. Linguistically, both meanings are possible because each of them is something put in the ground and made steady in it.30
艾布·哈尼法又引述阿慕尔·本·舒艾卜的说法,来自其父,再来自其祖父:"有人问真主的使者(愿主赐其平安)关于在拆除的古老建筑中发现的东西。先知说:'此物及利卡兹须缴纳五分之一。'"[31] 艾布·哈尼法补充说,连接词"和"的使用必定表明这两样东西是不同的,因此利卡兹不可能指埋藏的宝藏,而必定指矿物。艾布·哈尼法的一些门徒补充说,即使矿物最初并不被称为利卡兹,人们普遍使用这个词时所指的就是这一含义。
Abu Hanifah presents another saying from Amr bin Shu'aib, from his father from his grandfather, that "A man asked the Messenger of God (p) about things found in old buildings that are being demolished. The Prophet said, One-fifth is obligated on this and on rikaz.'"31 Abu Hanifah adds that the use of the additive article "and" must mean that the two things are different, so rikaz cannot mean buried treasures, and consequently must mean minerals. Some of Abu Hanifah's disciples add that even if minerals are not initially called rikaz, the common use of the word by people was in that meaning.
穆罕默德·本·哈桑是著名的阿拉伯语学者,他说:"阿拉伯人把金银含量较高的矿石称为 rakaza(ركز)。"32《Al-Bada'i》的作者写道:"Rikaz(ركاز)派生自动词 rakaza,其意为使某物静止不动。"33
Muhammad bin al Hasan, a reknowned scholar of the Arabic language, says, "Arabs say rakaza for mineral ore when it has a high ratio of gold and silver in it."32 The author of al Bada'i writes "Rikaz is derived from the verb rakaza, which means to make stand still."33
B. 哈乃斐学派提出的第二个论据是将矿产与战利品进行类比。他们说,当土地仍在非信徒手中时,矿产就在地下;穆斯林征服之后,并没有挖掘地下去获取这些矿产,而是任其保持原状。因此,此后对矿产的开采,应当适用于地表之上非信徒财产的同一原则,即必须缴纳五分之一。33
B. The second argument given by Hanafites is the analogy between minerals and war booty. They say the minerals were inside the earth when it was in the hands of unbelievers, and when Muslims took over they did not a dig underground to reach these minerals, leaving them untouched. Their extraction later must be subject to the same principle applied to the unbelievers property above the ground, i.e. one-fifth must be charged.33
这一论点难以接受,因为它建立在这样一个假设之上:地下的财富在被开采之前仍属于非信徒所有。对于伊斯兰及穆斯林的土地,怎能作出这样的假设?又有谁能告诉我们,这些矿藏是在伊斯兰之前还是之后埋藏于地下的?
The argument is difficult to accept, because it is founded on assuming that underground wealth remains in the ownership of unbelievers until it is extracted. How could one make such an assumption about the lands of Islam and Muslims? And who is to tell us that these minerals were installed inside the land before or after Islam?
C. 伊玛目派的法学家根据经文中“ghanimah”(战利品)一词的含义,将矿产与战利品进行类比。经文说:“你们应当知道,你们所获得的一切战利品,五分之一归真主、使者、近亲、孤儿、贫民和旅人。”(34)按照伊玛目派的观点,不仅战利品,从土地或海洋中采得之物也属于此类。(35)《法律的光辉》(栽德派法学)的作者认为,这种对“ghanimah”一词的泛化是值得怀疑的,理由有二:第一,经文中的这个词,根据其上下文,只适用于战利品;第二,《古兰经》和圣训中使用的“ghanimah”一词,如“战利品为我所合法”,是一个宗教概念,而不仅仅是一个阿拉伯语词汇。这一论证基于法源学(usul)学者所公认的原则:一个通用词可以借助伊斯兰教法中的额外指示而用于特定含义。当一个词以此方式使用时,它便被限定于该含义。法官阿卜杜勒·瓦哈卜·马立克写过一章,论述将通用词限定为特定的所指含义,使该词在伊斯兰教法中仅具有那一特定含义,除非有额外证据,否则不得依其原始语言意义理解,即便该词的绝对用法可能暗示其通用含义。沙菲仪的一些门徒也持此见,包括艾卜·伯克尔、盖法勒等人。伊本·达基格·阿尔·伊德在其对《训令》(al 'Umdah)的注释中提到这样一个原则:语境有时会表明通用词的特定含义,或使其所包含的若干含义中的一种或多种获得更大的权重。36
C. Imami jurists make the analogy between minerals and war booty on the basis of the meaning of the word ghanimah (war booty) mentioned in the verse, "And know that out of all the booty that ye may acquire, (in war), a fifth share is assigned to God, and to the Apostle, and to near relatives, orphans, the needy, and the wayfarer."34 According to Imamis, not only war booty but also things extracted from land or sea.35 The author of al Rawd al Nadir (in Zaidi Jurisprudence) says that such generalization of the word ghanimah is questionable, because first, the word mentioned in the verse applies only to war booty on the basis of its context, and second, the word ghanimah as used in the Qur'an and the sayings, like ''Ghanimahs are made lawful for me," is a religious concept and not only an Arabic word. This argument is based on the principle known among the scholars of usul that a general word may be used for a specific meaning by additional indications in Shari'ah. When a word is used like this, it becomes restricted to that meaning alone. The judge 'Abd al Wahhab al Maliki wrote a chapter on restricting general words to specific intended meanings, in such a way that meaning of the word in Shari'ah becomes only that specific one, and the word may not be taken to mean its original linguistic meaning except by additional evidence, even though the absolute use of the word may imply that general meaning. Some disciples of al Shafi'i agree with that, including Abu Bakr, al Qaffal, and others. Ibn Daqiq al 'Id refers in his commentary on al 'Umdah to the principle that the context sometimes indicates the specific meaning of a general word or gives more weight to one or more of the meanings included.36
总结来看,主张矿产课征百分之二十的唯一有力论据,似乎是矿产属于“裂克孜”(rikaz),而裂克孜应课征五分之一。这一观点为伟大的学者艾布·欧拜德所采纳,他还转述了来自阿里·本·艾比·塔利卜的一段支持此说的言论。37
Summing up, it appears that the only strong argument for the rate of twenty percent on minerals is that minerals are rikaz and rikaz is charged one-fifth. This is the view selected by the great scholar Abu 'Ubaid, who also reports from 'Ali bin Abi Talib a statement in its support.37
