Narrated Abyad ibn Hammal: He asked the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) for giving him some land which had arak trees growing in it. The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) said: There is no (permission for) protecting a land which has arak trees growing in it. He said: These arak trees are within the boundaries of my field. The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: There is no (permission for) protecting a land which has arak trees growing in it. The narrator Faraj said: By the phrase 'within the boundaries of my field' he meant the land which had crop growing in it and was surrounded on four sides. [+] [Abu Dawud 013:3060]
