3399. Abū Ja'far Al-Khaṭmī said: "My paternal uncle sent me and a slave of his to Sa'eed bin Al-Musayyab. We said to him: 'We have heard something from you about sharecropping.' He said: 'Ibn 'Umar did not see anything wrong with it until he heard a Hadīth from Rāfi' bin Khādīj. He came to him, and Rāfi' told him that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ came to Banū Hārīthah and saw a crop on the land of Zuhair. He said: "How fine is the crop of Zuhair." They said: "It does not belong to Zuhair." He said: "Is it not the land of Zuhair?" They said: "Yes, but it is the crop of so-and-so." He said: "Take your crop and reimburse his expenses." Rāfi' said: "So we took our crop and reimbursed his expenses." Sa'eed said: "Lend it to your brother or rent it to him for Dirhams." (Sahīh)
