3389. 'Amr bin Dinar said: "I heard Ibn 'Umar say: 'We did not see anything wrong with sharecropping until I heard Rāfi' bin Khadīj say that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ forbade it. I mentioned that to Tāwūs and he said: 'Ibn 'Abbās told me that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ did not forbid it, but he said: "For one of you to give (land) to his brother is better for him than if he were to take a set amount in rent for it.” (Ṣaḥīḥ)

Arabic text

3389 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ، يَقُولُ: مَا كُنَّا نَرَى بِالْمُزَارَعَةِ بَأْسًا، حَتَّى سَمِعْتُ رَافِعَ بْنَ خَدِيجٍ، يَقُولُ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَهَى عَنْهَا، فَذَكَرْتُهُ لِطَاوُسٍ، فَقَالَ: قَالَ لِي ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمْ يَنْهَ عَنْهَا وَلَكِنْ قَالَ: «لَأَنْ يَمْنَحَ أَحَدُكُمْ أَرْضَهُ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ عَلَيْهَا خَرَاجًا مَعْلُومًا»
