3939. Rāfi‘ bin Khadīj told ‘Abdullāh bin ‘Umar that his paternal uncles went to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, then they came back and told them that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ had forbidden leasing arable land. ‘Abdullāh said: “We knew that he owned some arable land that he leased at the time of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ in return for whatever grew on the banks of the streams of water, and for a certain amount of straw, I do not
know how much it was.” Ibn ‘Awn reported it from Nâfi’ but he said: “From some of his paternal uncles.” (Sâhîh)

Commentary
It is the opinion of Imâm ibn Taymiyyah that ‘Abdullâh ibn ‘Umar ﷺ considered permissible the form of sharecropping described in this Hadîth, and he used to practice it, because he was not aware of its prohibition. Later on, he had stopped doing it when Râfi’ bin Khadîj informed him about its having been forbidden as is mentioned in Hadîth 3935.
