Hadith 35103
Yahya related to me from Malik from Abdullah ibn Abi Bakr that
his grandfather, Muhammad ibn Amr ibn Hazm sold the fruit of an
orchard of his called al-Afraq, for 4,000 dirhams, and he kept aside
800 dirhams' worth of dry dates.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu'r-Rijal, Muhammad ibn
Abdar-Rahman ibn Haritha that his mother, Amra bint Abd ar-Rahman used
to sell her fruit and keep some of it aside.
Malik said, "The
generally agreed upon way of doing things among us is that when a man
sells the fruit of his orchard, he can keep aside up to a third of the
fruit, but that is not to be exceeded. There is no harm in what is
less than a third."
Malik added that he thought there was no
harm for a man to sell the fruit of his orchard and keep aside only
the fruit of a certain palm-tree or palm-trees which he had chosen and
whose number he had specified, because the owner was only keeping
aside certain fruit of his own orchard and everything else he sold. Muwatta Malik Book 31, Hadith 19
