2452. It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Whoever has land, let him cultivate it (himself) or let him give it to his brother (for free, to cultivate it) and if he does not want to do that, let him keep his land." (Sahih)
2452 - حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْجَوْهَرِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو تَوْبَةَ الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ نَافِعٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ سَلَّامٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ أَرْضٌ فَلْيَزْرَعْهَا، أَوْ لِيَمْنَحْهَا أَخَاهُ، فَإِنْ أَبَى، فَلْيُمْسِكْ أَرْضَهُ»

"Let him keep his land" means to let his land remain without cultivation. It is obvious that if the land remains without cultivation, it will produce nothing, and there will be no profit at all, and if it is given to someone to cultivate, it will be a great act of generosity.
