Umar's hima (protected pasture) and its mention are found in al-Bukhari, al-Muwatta, and Kitab al-Amwal by Abu Ubayd. Ibn Abd al-Barr discussed it in al-Istidhkar, al-Shawkani in Nayl al-Awtar, the commentators of al-Bukhari, Ibn Qutaybah in Gharib al-, al-Khuza'i in Takhrij al-Dalalat al-Sam'iyah, al-Samhudi in Khulasat al-Wafa, and Muhammad ibn Abd al-Mun'im al-Himyari in al-Rawd al-Mi'tar. The last three books mention the addition by Uthman in some detail.
