English translation
2634. Narrated Ṭāwūs that he was told by the most learned one amongst them, i.e., Ibn 'Abbās رضي الله عنهما, that the Prophet ﷺ went towards some land which was flourishing with vegetation and asked to whom it belonged. He was told that such and such a person took it on rent. The Prophet ﷺ said, "If he had given it to him gratis rather than charging him a fixed rent."
