3395. It was narrated from Sulaimān bin Yasār that Rāfī bin Khadīj said: “We used to engage in sharecropping at the time of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ.” Then he mentioned that one of his paternal uncles came to him and said: “The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ has forbidden something that was beneficial for us, but obedience to Allāh and His Messenger is more beneficial to us.” We said: “What is that?” He said: “The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: ‘Whoever has land, let him cultivate it, or let his brother cultivate it; he should not rent it out for one third or one quarter (of the yield) or for a specified amount of produce.’” (Ṣaḥīḥ)
