3955. It was narrated that Râfi' said: "Zuhair bin Râfi' came to us and said: 'The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ forbade me to do something that was convenient for us.' I said: ‘What was that?’ He said: ‘The command of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ is true. He asked me: What do you do with your land? I said: We rent it out in return for one-quarter (of the yield) and a number of Wasqs of dates or barley. He said: Do not do that. Cultivate it, give it to someone else to cultivate, or keep it.’” (Sahīh) Bukair bin ‘Abdullāh bin AlAshajj reported it from Usaid bin Rāfi‘, and he reported it as a narration of Rāfi‘’s brother.
