"I asked Rafi' bin Khadij and he said: 'We used to lease out land on the basis that you would have what is produced by this piece of land, and I would have what is produced by this (other) piece of land, and we were forbidden to lease it out on the basis of crop-sharing but he did not forbid us to rent out land for silver."

that his paternal uncle Zuhair said: "The Messenger of Allah (saw) forbade us from doing something that was convenient for us." I said: "What the Messenger of Allah (saw) said is true." He said that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: "What do you do with your farms?" We said: "We rent them out for one third or one quarter of their yield, and a certain amount of wheat and barley." He said: "Do not do that; cultivate them or let others cultivate them."

(the paternal nephew of Rafi bin Khadij), that Rafi bin Khadij said: "If one of us did not need his land, he would give it (to someone else to cultivate) in return for one third, or one half of the yield, and he would stipulate (that he should receive) the produce grows on the banks of three streams, and the grains that remain in the ear after threshing, and the produce irrigated by a stream. Life at that time was hard, and he would work (the land) with iron and whatever Allah (SWT) willed, and he would benefit from it. Then Rafi bin Khadij came to us and said: 'The Messenger of Allah (saw) forbade you to do something that may seem beneficial to you, but obedience to Allah and obedience to His Messenger are more beneficial for you. The Messenger of Allah (saw) forbade Haql for you, and he said: "Whoever has no need of his land, let him give it to his brother (to cultivate) or let him leave it (uncultivated)." Haql means leasing land for a share of the crops.

"May Allah (SWT) forgive Rafi' bin Khadij. By Allah (SWT)! I have more knowledge of Ahadith than he does. Two men who had quarreled came to the Prophet (saw) and he said: 'If this is your situation, do not lease farms,' and what Rafi' bin khadij heard was 'Do not lease farms.' "

I said to Tawus: "O Abu 'Abdur-Rahman, why do you not give up this Mukhabarah because they claim that the Messenger of Allah (saw) forbade it." He said: "O 'Amr, I help them by taking their land and cultivating it, and giving them something in return, and Mu`adh bin Jabal allowed people here to do that. The most knowledgeable of them - meaning Ibn`Abbas - told me that the Messenger of Allah (saw) did not forbid it, rather he said: 'For one you to give (land) to his brother is better than if he were to take a set amount in rent for it.'"

We used to give land in return for food at the time of the Messenger of Allah (saw), and some of my paternal uncles came to them and said: "The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: 'Whoever has land, he should not rent it out for a set amount of food."
