English translation

[3945] 113 - (1548) It was narrated that Râfî’ bin Khadîj said: “We used to rent land at the time of the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ, leasing it for one-third or one-quarter (of the yield of a specified crop) and a specified amount of food. Then one day, one of my paternal uncles came to us and said: ‘The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ has forbidden to us something that was beneficial to us, but obedience to Allâh and His Messenger is more beneficial to us. He forbade us to rent land and lease it for one-third or one-quarter (of the yield of a specified crop) and a specified amount of food, and he ordered the owner of the land to cultivate it or let it be cultivated, and he disliked leasing it out or anything else.’”

Arabic text

113 - (1548) وحَدَّثَنِي عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ السَّعْدِيُّ، وَيَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ وَهُوَ ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ يَعْلَى بْنِ حَكِيمٍ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ، قَالَ: كُنَّا نُحَاقِلُ الْأَرْضَ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَنُكْرِيهَا بِالثُّلُثِ وَالرُّبُعِ، وَالطَّعَامِ الْمُسَمَّى، فَجَاءَنَا ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ رَجُلٌ مَنْ عُمُومَتِي، فَقَالَ: نَهَانَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ أَمْرٍ كَانَ لَنَا نَافِعًا، وَطَوَاعِيَةُ اللهِ وَرَسُولِهِ أَنْفَعُ لَنَا، «نَهَانَا أَنْ نُحَاقِلَ بِالْأَرْضِ فَنُكْرِيَهَا عَلَى الثُّلُثِ وَالرُّبُعِ، وَالطَّعَامِ الْمُسَمَّى، وَأَمَرَ رَبَّ الْأَرْضِ أَنْ يَزْرَعَهَا، أَوْ يُزْرِعَهَا، وَكَرِهَ كِرَاءَهَا وَمَا سِوَى ذَلِكَ»،
