2344. Then he was told the narration of Rāfi' bin Khadīj that the Prophet ﷺ had forbidden the renting of farms. Ibn 'Umar went to Rāfi' and I accompanied him. He asked Rāfi' who replied that the Prophet ﷺ had forbidden the renting of farms. Ibn 'Umar said, "You know that we used to rent our farms in the lifetime of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ for the yield of the banks of the water streams (rivers) and for certain amount of figs. [And in some copies of Ṣaḥīḥ Al-Bukhārī it is written "At-Tībn" i.e., chopped straw instead of figs.]
