2346, 2347. Narrated Hanzla bin Qais: Rāfi' bin Khadīj said, "My two uncles told me that they (i.e., the companions of the Prophet ﷺ) used to rent the land in the lifetime of the Prophet ﷺ for the yield on the banks of water streams (rivers), or for a portion of the yield stipulated by the owner of the land. The Prophet ﷺ forbade it." I said to Rāfi', "What about renting the land for Dīnār and Dīrham?" He replied, "There is no harm in renting for Dīnār-Dīrham. Al-Laith said, "If those who have discernment for distinguishing what is legal from what is illegal looked into what has been forbidden concerning this matter, they would not permit it; for it is surrounded with dangers."(1) (٢٠)
