English translation

3895. It was narrated that Usaid bin Zuhair said: "Râfi' bin Khadîj came to us and said: 'The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ has forbidden something that was beneficial for us, but obedience to the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ is better for you. He has forbidden Al-Haql (renting land in return for one-third or one-quarter of the produce) to you, and says: Whoever has land, let him give it (to someone else to cultivate it) or leave it. And he has forbidden Al-Muzâbanah. Al-Muzâbanah means when a man has a lot of date-palm trees and another man comes and takes it in return for a certain number of Wasqs of dried dates.” (Sahih)

Arabic text

3864 - أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، سَمِعْتُ مُجَاهِدًا، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أُسَيْدِ بْنِ ظُهَيْرٍ، قَالَ: أَتَانَا رَافِعُ بْنُ خَدِيجٍ، فَقَالَ: نَهَانَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ أَمْرٍ كَانَ لَنَا نَافِعًا، وَطَاعَةُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَيْرٌ لَكُمْ، نَهَاكُمْ عَنِ الْحَقْلِ وَقَالَ: «مَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ أَرْضٌ فَلْيَمْنَحْهَا أَوْ لِيَدَعْهَا»، وَنَهَى عَنِ الْمُزَابَنَةِ، وَالْمُزَابَنَةُ: الرَّجُلُ يَكُونُ لَهُ الْمَالُ الْعَظِيمُ مِنَ النَّخْلِ فَيَجِيءُ الرَّجُلُ فَيَأْخُذُهَا بِكَذَا وَكَذَا وَسْقًا مِنْ تَمْرٍ

  1. 1

    [1] Meaning the third or fourth of yield paid to lease the land. And it is not clear if this is the explanation of Râfi', or one of the narrators, while it appears - from the various narrations - that it is from Râfi' and is mentioned again.

  2. 2

    [2] This definition is similar to Al-Arâyâ (see No. 3910) which was an exception.
