Original Arabic

حَدَّثَنَا هَاشِمُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عِكْرِمَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي النَّجَاشِيِّ، مَوْلَى رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ، قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ رَافِعًا عَنْ كِرَاءِ الْأَرْضِ، قُلْتُ: إِنَّ لِي أَرْضًا أُكْرِيهَا؟، ، فَقَالَ رَافِعٌ: لَا تُكْرِهَا بِشَيْءٍ، فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " مَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ أَرْضٌ فَلْيَزْرَعْهَا، فَإِنْ لَمْ يَزْرَعْهَا فَلْيُزْرِعْهَا أَخَاهُ، فَإِنْ لَمْ يَفْعَلْ فَلْيَدَعْهَا " قُلْتُ لَهُ: أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ تَرَكْتُهُ وَأَرْضِي، فَإِنْ زَرَعَهَا، ثُمَّ بَعَثَ إِلَيَّ مِنَ التِّبْنِ؟ قَالَ: " لَا تَأْخُذْ مِنْه (١) شَيْئًا وَلَا تِبْنًا " قُلْتُ: إِنِّي لَمْ أُشَارِطْهُ، إِنَّمَا أَهْدَى إِلَيَّ شَيْئًا؟ قَالَ: " لَا تَأْخُذْ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا " (٢)، ،

Translation

English translation

Abu al-Najashi says that I asked Rafi’ (may Allah be pleased with him) about the issue of renting out land, that I have some land, can I give it on rent? He replied, do not give it on rent, because I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) say that whoever has land should cultivate it himself, if he cannot do it himself, then he should allow his brother to do it, and if he cannot do even this, then let it remain as it is. I asked, tell me, if I give my land to someone and he cultivates it and sends me straw, what is the ruling? He replied, do not take anything from him, not even straw. I said, I do not make it a condition with him, rather he sends it to me only as a gift. He replied, even then do not take anything from him.
