English translation
2330. Narrated 'Amr: I said to Tāwūs, "I wish you would give up Mukhābara (share-cropping), for the people say that the Prophet ﷺ forbade it." On that Tāwūs replied, "O 'Amr! I give the land to share-croppers and help them. No doubt; the most learned man, namely Ibn 'Abbās رضي الله عنهما told me that the Prophet ﷺ had not forbidden it (i.e., Al-Mukhābara) but said, 'It is more beneficial for one to give his land free to one's brother than to charge him a fixed rental.'"(1)
