3928. It was narrated that Rāfi’ bin Khadīj said: “We used to lease land on the basis of Al-Muḥāqalah during the time of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ.” He said that one of his paternal uncles came to them and said: “The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ has forbidden me to do something that was beneficial for us, but obedience to Allāh and His Messenger is more beneficial.” We said: “What is that?” He said: “The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: “Whoever has land, let him cultivate it (himself) or give it to his brother to cultivate, and not lease it in return for one-third or one-quarter of the yield nor a specified amount of food (produce).” (Sahih) Hanzalah bin Qais reported it from Rāfi'; and there is a difference over Rabī'ah's narration of it.

3897 - أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ يَعْلَى بْنِ حَكِيمٍ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، أَنَّ رَافِعَ بْنَ خَدِيجٍ قَالَ: كُنَّا نُحَاقِلُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَزَعَمَ أَنَّ بَعْضَ عُمُومَتِهِ أَتَاهُ، فَقَالَ: نَهَانِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ أَمْرٍ كَانَ لَنَا نَافِعًا وَطَوَاعِيَةُ اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ أَنْفَعُ لَنَا، قُلْنَا: وَمَا ذَاكَ؟ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ أَرْضٌ، فَلْيَزْرَعْهَا، أَوْ لِيُزْرِعْهَا أَخَاهُ، وَلَا يُكَارِيهَا بِثُلُثٍ، وَلَا رُبُعٍ، وَلَا طَعَامٍ مُسَمًّى» رَوَاهُ حَنْظَلَةُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ، عَنْ رَافِعٍ، فَاخْتَلَفَ عَلَى رَبِيعَةَ فِي رِوَايَتِهِ
