2450. It was narrated that 'Amr bin Dinâr said: "I heard Ibn 'Umar say: 'We used to lend land for cultivation in return for a share of the harvest, and we did not see anything wrong with that, until we heard Râfi' bin Khadîj say: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ forbade it." Then we stopped because of what he said.'"
2450 - حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ، يَقُولُ: كُنَّا نُخَابِرُ وَلَا نَرَى بِذَلِكَ بَأْسًا، حَتَّى سَمِعْنَا رَافِعَ بْنَ خَدِيجٍ، يَقُولُ: «نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْهُ» ، فَتَرَكْنَاهُ لِقَوْلِهِ

Mukhâbarah means division of produce between the cultivator and the landlord. For example the produce is divided between the two, half and half or one third and two thirds, or as agreed upon. It is lawful and permitted. But the division of the produce on the basis of particular parts of land is unlawful. It is prohibited to divide the produce such that the produce of this part of land will go to the landlord, and produce from the other part of the land will go to the tiller. (See Hadith no. 2458)
