Rafi b. Khadij (Allaah be pleased with him) reported: We used to give on rent land during the lifetime of Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam). We rented it on the share of one-third or one-fourth of the (produce) along with a definite quantity of corn. One day a person from among my uncles came to us and said: Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) forbade us this act which was a source of benefit to us, but the obedience to Allaah and to His Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) is more beneficial to us. He forbade us that we should rent land with one-third or one-fourth of (the produce) and the corn of a measure, and he commanded the owner of land that he should cultivate it or let it be cultivated by other (persons) but he showed disapproval of renting it or anything besides it. |
