حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، عَنْ أُسَيْدِ بْنِ ظُهَيْرٍ ابْنُ أَخِي رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ، عَنْ رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ، قَالَ (١) : كَانَ أَحَدُنَا إِذَا اسْتَغْنَى عَنْ أَرْضِهِ أَعْطَاهَا بِالثُّلُثِ، وَالرُّبُعِ، وَالنِّصْفِ، وَيَشْتَرِطُ ثَلَاثَ جَدَاوِلَ، وَالْقُصَارَةَ، وَمَا يسَقَي (٢) الرَّبِيعُ، وَكَانَ الْعَيْشُ إِذْ ذَاكَ شَدِيدًا، وَكَانَ يُعْمَلُ فِيهَا بِالْحَدِيدِ، وَمَا شَاءَ اللهُ، وَيُصِيبُ مِنْهَا مَنْفَعَةً، فَأَتَانَا رَافِعُ بْنُ خَدِيجٍ، فَقَالَ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَنْهَاكُمْ عَنْ أَمْرٍ كَانَ لَكُمْ نَافِعًا، وَطَاعَةُ اللهِ (٣) ، وَطَاعَةُ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْفَعُ لَكُمْ، إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ يَنْهَاكُمْ، ، عَنِ الْحَقْلِ، وَيَقُولُ: " مَنْ اسْتَغْنَى عَنْ أَرْضِهِ، فَلْيَمْنَحْهَا أَخَاهُ أَوْ لِيَدَعْ "، وَيَنْهَاكُمْ عَنِ الْمُزَابَنَةِ وَالْمُزَابَنَةُ: أَنْ يَكُونَ الرَّجُلُ لَهُ الْمَالُ الْعَظِيمُ مِنَ النَّخْلِ، فَيَأْتِيهِ الرَّجُلُ، فَيَقُولُ قَدْ أَخَذْتُهُ بِكَذَا وَكَذَا (١) وَسْقًا مِنْ تَمْرٍ، (٢)، ،

Translation

English translation

Usaid bin Zuhair says that when any one of us became independent of his land, he would give it to others for a third, a quarter, or a half share, and would set three conditions: the produce near the canals, the husk, and the vegetables. At that time, life was very difficult and hard; people used to work with iron, etc., but they would get profit in this work. One day, Rafi’ bin Khadij (may Allah be pleased with him) came to us and said: The Prophet (ﷺ) has forbidden you from something that could have been beneficial for you, but obedience to Allah and His Messenger is even more beneficial for you. The Prophet (ﷺ) has prohibited leasing land, saying: Whoever has land should cultivate it himself, and if he cannot do it himself, he should allow his brother to do it. And he forbade muzabana, which means that a person has a lot of dates, and another man comes to him and says: I have taken this produce from you in exchange for such-and-such a measure of dates.
