Hadith Narrated By Amr bin Dinar

"When Ibn Abbas was in Basrah, he performed prayer on his rug, then he told his companions that the Messenger of Allah (saw) used to perform prayer on his rug." Sahih

"I heard Ibn Umar say: 'We used to lend land for cultivation in return for a share of the harvest, and we did not see anything wrong with that, until we heard Rafi bin Khadij say: "The Messenger of Allah (saw) forbade it." Then we stopped because of what he said.' " Sahih

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.'"
