3906. Jâbir said: The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: "Whoever has land, let him cultivate it or give it to his brother, and not lease it to him." (Sahîh) He was followed in (narrating) it by 'Abdur-Rahmân bin 'Amr Al-Awzâ'î.

Arabic text

3875 - أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ أَرْضٌ فَلْيَزْرَعْهَا، أَوْ لِيَمْنَحْهَا أَخَاهُ وَلَا يُكْرِيهَا» تَابَعَهُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ "

Commentary

'Give it' from Manah; which could mean he should lend it to him for one or two years, so that he could acquire some of its produce. The land would continue to remain the property of its original owner. The owner would take it back upon the expiration of the fixed period of time.
