Hadith of Rafi' ibn Khadij (may Allah be pleased with him)

حَدِيثُ رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ، ١٧٢٥٦ - حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا أَيُّوبُ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، أَنَّ ابْنَ عُمَرَ بَلَغَهُ أَنَّ رَافِعًا، يُحَدِّثُ فِي ذَاكَ (١) بِنَهْيٍ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَأَتَاهُ وَأَنَا مَعَهُ، فَسَأَلَهُ، فَقَالَ: " نَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ كِرَاءِ الْمَزَارِعِ "، فَتَرَكَهَا ابْنُ عُمَرَ، فَكَانَ لَا يُكْرِيهَا، فَكَانَ إِذَا سُئِلَ يَقُولُ: زَعَمَ ابْنُ خَدِيجٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " نَهَى عَنْ كِرَاءِ الْمَزَارِعِ " (٢)، ،

It is narrated from Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) that we used to give land on sharecropping and did not consider there to be any harm in it. Later, Rafi’ bin Khadij (may Allah be pleased with him) informed us that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) forbade this, so we abandoned it.

حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَجْلَانَ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ مَحْمُودِ بْنِ لَبِيدٍ، عَنْ رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ (١) : " أَصْبِحُوا بِالصُّبْحِ، فَإِنَّهُ أَعْظَمُ لِأُجُورِكُمْ أَوْ أَعْظَمُ لِلْأَجْرِ " (٢)،

It is narrated from Rafi' (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Offer the morning prayer in brightness, for its reward is greater."

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي رَبِيعَةُ، عَنْ حَنْظَلَةَ بْنِ قَيْسٍ، عَنْ رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ، قَالَ: " نَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ كِرَاءِ الْمَزَارِعِ " قَالَ: قُلْتُ: بِالذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةِ؟ قَالَ: لَا. إِنَّمَا " نَهَى عَنْهُ بِبَعْضِ مَا يَخْرُجُ مِنْهَا "، فَأَمَّا بِالذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةِ، فَلَا بَأْسَ بِهِ (٣)، ،

It is narrated from Rafi’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) forbade leasing land. I asked, “What if it is for gold and silver?” He replied, “No.” The Prophet (ﷺ) did not approve of leasing land in exchange for its produce, but there is no harm in leasing it for dirhams and dinars.

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ السَّائِبَ بْنَ يَزِيدَ، بْنِ أُخْتِ النِّمْرِ، عَنْ رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ، أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " شَرُّ الْكَسْبِ ثَمَنُ الْكَلْبِ، وَكَسْبُ الْحَجَّامِ، وَمَهْرُ الْبَغِيِّ " (١)،

It is narrated from Rafi' (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: The earnings of the cupper are impure, the earnings of a prostitute are impure, and the price of a dog is impure.

حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى،، ، عَنْ رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " لَا قَطْعَ فِي ثَمَرٍ وَلَا كَثَرٍ " (١)،

It is narrated from Rafi' (may Allah be pleased with him) that I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) say: The hand will not be cut off for stealing fruit or buds.

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ عَبَايَةَ بْنِ رِفَاعَةَ بْنِ رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنَّا لَاقُو الْعَدُوِّ غَدًا وَلَيْسَتْ مَعَنَا مُدًى؟ قَالَ: " أَعْجِلْ أَوْ أَرِنْ (٢) ، مَا أَنْهَرَ الدَّمَ وَذُكِرَ اسْمُ اللهِ عَلَيْهِ فَكُلْ، لَيْسَ السِّنَّ وَالظُّفُرَ، وَسَأُحَدِّثُكَ: أَمَّا السِّنُّ فَعَظْمٌ، وَأَمَّا الظُّفُرُ فَمُدَى الْحَبَشِ " (٣) . قَالَ: وَأَصْبَنَا (٤) نَهْبَ إِبِلٍ وَغَنَمٍ، فَنَدَّ مِنْهَا بَعِيرٌ، فَرَمَاهُ رَجُلٌ بِسَهْمٍ، فَحَبَسَهُ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِنَّ لَهَذِهِ الْإِبِلِ أَوَابِدَ كَأَوَابِدِ الْوَحْشِ، فَإِذَا غَلَبَكُمْ مِنْهَا شَيْءٌ، فَافْعَلُوا بِهِ هَكَذَا " (٥)، ،

It is narrated from Rafi’ bin Khadij (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I submitted in the presence of the Messenger of Allah, O Messenger of Allah! (ﷺ) Tomorrow we will face our enemy (animals), while we do not have any knife? The Prophet (ﷺ) said: Whatever thing, besides teeth and nails, causes the animal’s blood to flow and Allah’s name is mentioned over it, you may eat it. And let me tell you the reason: teeth are bone and nails are the knives of the Abyssinians. During this time, some camels were received as spoils of war, among which one camel ran away. People tried very hard to control it but could not succeed. Finally, a man aimed and shot an arrow at it and brought it under control. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: These animals also sometimes become wild just as wild animals become furious. When you are overpowered by an animal, do the same with it.

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا بُشَيْرُ بْنُ يَسَارٍ، مَوْلَى بَنِي حَارِثَةَ، أَنَّ رَافِعَ بْنَ خَدِيجٍ، وَسَهْلَ بْنَ أَبِي حَثْمَةَ، حَدَّثَاهُ: " أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَهَى عَنِ الْمُزَابَنَةِ الثَّمَرِ بِالتَّمْرِ إِلَّا أَصْحَابَ الْعَرَايَا، فَإِنَّهُ قَدْ أَذِنَ لَهُمْ " (١)، ،

It is narrated from Rafi' bin Khadij (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sahl bin Abi Hathmah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) forbade selling dates that are still on the trees in exchange for harvested dates, except that he permitted it (in less than five wasqs) for those in need.

حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَبَايَةَ بْنِ رِفَاعَةَ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ، قَالَ: كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِذِي الْحُلَيْفَةِ مِنْ تِهَامَةَ، فَأَصَبْنَا غَنَمًا وَإِبِلًا. قَالَ: فَعَجَّلَ الْقَوْمُ، فَأَغْلَوْا بِهَا الْقُدُورَ، فَجَاءَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَمَرَ بِهَا، فَأُكْفِئَتْ، ثُمَّ قَالَ (١) : " عَدْلُ عَشْرَةٍ مِنَ الْغَنَمِ بِجَزُورٍ ". قَالَ: ثُمَّ إِنَّ بَعِيرًا نَدَّ وَلَيْسَ فِي الْقَوْمِ إِلَّا خَيْلٌ يَسِيرَةٌ، فَرَمَاهُ رَجُلٌ بِسَهْمٍ، فَحَبَسَهُ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِنَّ لِهَذِهِ الْبَهَائِمِ أَوَابِدَ كَأَوَابِدِ الْوَحْشِ، فَمَا غَلَبَكُمْ مِنْهَا فَاصْنَعُوا بِهِ هَكَذَا ". قَالَ: فَقَالَ رَافِعُ بْنُ خَدِيجٍ: إِنَّا لَنَرْجُو أوْ إِنَّا (٢) لَنَخَافُ أَنْ نَلْقَى الْعَدُوَّ غَدًا وَلَيْسَ مَعَنَا مُدًى، أَفَنَذْبَحُ بِالْقَصَبِ؟ قَالَ: " أَعْجِلْ أَوْ أَرِنْ (٣) ، مَا أَنْهَرَ الدَّمَ وَذُكِرَ اسْمُ اللهِ عَلَيْهِ، فَكُلْ، لَيْسَ السِّنَّ وَالظُّفُرَ، وَسَأُحَدِّثُكُمْ عَنْ ذَلِكَ: أَمَّا السِّنُّ فَعَظْمٌ، وَأَمَّا الظُّفُرُ، فَمُدَى الْحَبَشَةِ " (٤)، ،

It is narrated from Rafi’ bin Khadij (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I submitted in the presence of the Messenger of Allah, O Messenger of Allah! (ﷺ) We were with the Prophet (ﷺ) at Dhul-Hulaifah. The Prophet (ﷺ) received some goats and camels as spoils of war. People quickly put pots on the fire. The Prophet (ﷺ) came and ordered the pots to be overturned. Then he said, “One camel is equivalent to ten goats.” Among those camels, one camel ran away. People tried very hard to catch it but could not succeed. Finally, out of frustration, a man aimed and shot an arrow at it and managed to control it. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “These animals also sometimes become wild just as wild animals become furious. When you are overpowered by an animal, do the same with it.” (They asked) “Tomorrow we may face our enemy (among the animals), and we do not have any knife with us?” The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Other than teeth and nails, whatever causes the animal’s blood to flow and Allah’s name is mentioned over it, you may eat it. And let me also tell you the reason: teeth are bone, and nails are the knives of the Abyssinians.”

حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ، عَنْ أَبِي حَصِينٍ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، عَنْ رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ، قَالَ: " نَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ تُسْتَأْجَرَ الْأَرْضُ بِالدَّرَاهِمِ الْمَنْقُودَةِ، أَوْ بِالثُّلُثِ أوِ الرُّبُعِ (١) " (٢)، ،

It is narrated from Rafi’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) forbade hufl. The narrator asked, “What is meant by hufl?” He replied, “To give land on sharecropping for a third or a fourth of the produce.” Upon hearing this hadith, Ibrahim also gave a verdict regarding its dislike, and did not consider it objectionable to take land in exchange for dirhams.

حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ، حَدَّثَنَا الْمَسْعُودِيُّ، عَنْ وَائِلٍ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، عَنْ عَبَايَةَ بْنِ رِفَاعَةَ بْنِ رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ، قَالَ: قِيلَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَيُّ الْكَسْبِ أَطْيَبُ؟ قَالَ: " عَمَلُ الرَّجُلِ بِيَدِهِ وَكُلُّ بَيْعٍ مَبْرُورٍ " (١)، ،

It is narrated from Rafi’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that a person submitted in the court of the Messenger, "O Messenger of Allah! (ﷺ) Which earning is the best and most excellent?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "The earning from a man's own hand and every accepted trade."

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَبَايَةَ بْنِ رِفَاعَةَ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي رَافِعُ بْنُ خَدِيجٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " الْحُمَّى مِنْ فَوْرِ (١) جَهَنَّمَ، فَأَبْرِدُوهَا بِالْمَاءِ " (٢)،

It is narrated from Rafi' (may Allah be pleased with him) that I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) say: "Fever is the effect of the heat of Hell, so cool it with water."

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)، ،

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.

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النَّضْرِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي سُلَيْمٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عَبَايَةَ بْنَ رِفَاعَةَ بْنِ رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ، يُحَدِّثُ: أَنَّ جَدَّهُ، حِينَ مَاتَ تَرَكَ جَارِيَةً، وَنَاضِحًا، وَغُلَامًا حَجَّامًا، وَأَرْضًا، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الْجَارِيَةِ، فَنَهَى عَنْ كَسْبِهَا - قَالَ شُعْبَةُ: مَخَافَةَ أَنْ تَبْغِيَ - وَقَالَ: " مَا أَصَابَ الْحَجَّامُ فَاعْلِفُوهُ (١) النَّاضِحَ ". وَقَالَ فِي الْأَرْضِ: " ازْرَعْهَا أَوْ ذَرْهَا (٢) " (٣)، ، . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .، ،

It is narrated from Rafi’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that when his grandfather passed away, he left behind in his inheritance a slave woman, a camel for bringing water, a barber slave, and some land. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) gave the ruling regarding the slave woman that her earnings should be prohibited (so that she does not become a professional worker), and he said regarding the barber slave: whatever he earns, buy fodder with it and feed it to the camel. And regarding the land, he said: cultivate it yourself through farming or just leave it as it is.

It is narrated from Rafi’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: Whoever cultivates a crop in someone else’s land without the owner’s permission, he will get his expenses, but he will not get anything from the crop.

Nafi' bin Jubair (may Allah have mercy on him) says that once Marwan, while delivering a sermon, mentioned before the people about Makkah Mukarramah and its being a sanctuary (Haram). So Rafi' bin Khadij (may Allah be pleased with him) called out and said: If Makkah Mukarramah is a sanctuary, then Madinah Munawwarah is also a sanctuary, which the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) declared as a sanctuary, and this statement is written with us on leather. If you wish, we can read this text to you. Marwan said: That is fine, this matter has also reached us.

It is narrated from Rafi’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Prophet (ﷺ) saw the red color becoming predominant (being used excessively), he expressed dislike for it.

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْمُغِيرَةِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النَّجَاشِيِّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي رَافِعُ بْنُ خَدِيجٍ، قَالَ: " كُنَّا نُصَلِّي مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَلَاةَ الْعَصْرِ، ثُمَّ نَنْحَرُ الْجَزُورَ، فَتُقْسَمُ عَشَرَ قَسْمٍ، ثُمَّ تُطْبَخُ، فَنَأْكُلُ لَحْمًا نَضِيجًا قَبْلَ أَنْ تَغِيبَ الشَّمْسُ "، قَالَ: " وَكُنَّا نُصَلِّي الْمَغْرِبَ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَيَنْصَرِفُ أَحَدُنَا وَإِنَّهُ لَيَنْظُرُ إِلَى مَوَاقِعِ نَبْلِهِ " (٢)، ،

It is narrated from Rafi’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that we used to perform the Asr prayer with the Prophet (ﷺ), then slaughter a camel, divide it into ten parts, then cook it, and before the sun would set, we would eat the cooked meat. And during the blessed era of the Prophet (ﷺ), we used to perform the Maghrib prayer at such a time that when we returned after offering the prayer, we could still see the place where our arrows had fallen.

It is narrated from Sahl (may Allah be pleased with him) that once Abdullah bin Sahl Ansari and Muhayyisa bin Mas’ud came to Khaybar for some work. They separated from each other, and someone killed Abdullah, and he was found murdered in the middle of Khaybar. His two uncles and his brother came to the Prophet (ﷺ). His brother’s name was Abdur Rahman bin Sahl, and the uncles’ names were Huwayyisa and Muhayyisa. Abdur Rahman began to speak before the Prophet (ﷺ), so the Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Let the elders speak.” So one of his uncles began to speak. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Fifty men from among you should swear an oath and say that the Jews killed him.” They said, “How can we swear an oath about something we did not see with our own eyes?” The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Then fifty Jews should swear an oath and declare their innocence and say that they did not kill him.” They said, “O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), how can we trust their oath when they are polytheists?” Upon this, the Prophet (ﷺ) paid the blood money from his own side. One of the young camels from the blood money kicked me on the leg. The previous hadith is also narrated through this second chain.

It is narrated from Rafi’ bin Khadij (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I submitted in the presence of the Messenger of Allah, O Messenger of Allah! (ﷺ) Tomorrow we will face our enemy (animals), while we do not have any knife? The Prophet (ﷺ) said: Whatever thing, besides teeth and nails, causes the animal’s blood to flow and Allah’s name is mentioned over it, you may eat it. And let me tell you the reason: teeth are bone and nails are the knives of the Abyssinians. During this time, some camels were received as spoils of war, among which one camel ran away. People tried very hard to control it but could not succeed. Finally, a man aimed and shot an arrow at it and brought it under control. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: These animals also sometimes become wild just as wild animals become furious. When you are overpowered by an animal, do the same with it.

It is narrated from Rafi’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Prophet (ﷺ) called out to me from outside my house. At that time, I was "engaged" with my wife. Hearing the call, I stood up. At that time, ejaculation had not occurred, but I performed ghusl (ritual bath) and came out to the Prophet (ﷺ) and informed him that when you called me, I was engaged with my wife. I stood up immediately; ejaculation had not occurred, but I performed ghusl. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "There was no need for that; ghusl becomes obligatory upon ejaculation." Later, the Prophet (ﷺ) commanded us to perform ghusl.

It is narrated from Rafi' bin Khadij (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I met my uncle Zuhair bin Rafi' (may Allah be pleased with him). He said, "Nephew! The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) forbade us from something that could have been beneficial for us." I asked, "Uncle! And what is that?" He said, "He forbade us from sharecropping on the elevated lands that we own." I said, "Obedience to Allah and His Messenger is even more beneficial for us." The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, "Do you rent out your land for something in return?" They said, "For the produce of small water channels and for a fixed measure of barley." The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, "Do not do so. Whoever has land should cultivate it himself, and if he cannot do so himself, he should allow his brother to do it." So, we sold the lands we had there.
