English translation
3931. It was narrated that Hanzalah bin Qais said: “I asked Râfi’ bin Khadîj about leasing land. He said: ‘The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ forbade leasing land.’ I said: ‘For gold and silver?’ He said: ‘No, rather he forbade leasing it in return for what the land produces. As for gold and silver, there is nothing wrong with that.’” (Sahih) Sufyân Ath-Thawrî, may Allâh be pleased with him, reported it from Rabî’ah, but he did not narrate it in Marfu’ form.
