حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ، عَنْ يَعْلَى بْنِ حَكِيمٍ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ، قَالَ: كُنَّا نُحَاقِلُ بِالْأَرْضِ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَنُكْرِيهَا عَلَى الثُّلُثِ (١) وَالرُّبُعِ، وَالطَّعَامِ الْمُسَمَّى، فَجَاءَنَا ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ رَجُلٌ مِنْ عُمُومَتِي فَقَالَ: نَهَانَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ أَمْرٍ كَانَ لَنَا نَافِعًا، وَطَاعَةُ اللهِ وَرَسُولِهِ أَنْفَعُ لَنَا " نَهَانَا أَنْ نُحَاقِلَ بِالْأَرْضِ، فَنُكْرِيَهَا عَلَى الثُّلُثِ وَالرُّبُعِ، وَالطَّعَامِ الْمُسَمَّى، وَأَمَرَ، ، رَبَّ الْأَرْضِ أَنْ يَزْرَعَهَا أَوْ يُزْرِعَهَا، وَكَرِهَ كِرَاءَهَا، وَمَا سِوَى ذَلِكَ " (١)،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Rafi' bin Khadij (may Allah be pleased with him) that during the blessed era of the Prophet (ﷺ), we used to give land on sharecropping for one-third, one-fourth, or for a fixed amount of grain as rent. But one day, one of my uncles came to me and said that the Prophet (ﷺ) has forbidden us from an act which was beneficial for us, but obedience to Allah and His Messenger is more beneficial. The Prophet (ﷺ) forbade us from giving land on sharecropping, or for one-third, one-fourth, or for a fixed amount of grain as rent, and ordered the owner of the land to either cultivate it himself or allow someone else to do so, but renting it out or other such forms were disliked by him.
