2459. Rāfi’ bin Khadij narrated that his paternal uncle Zuhair said: “The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ forbade us from doing something that was convenient for us.” I said: “What the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said is true.” He said that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: “What do you do with your farms?” We said: “We rent them out for one third or one quarter of their yield, and a certain amount of wheat and barley.” He said: “Do not do that; cultivate them or let others cultivate them.” (Sahih)
