حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ ، أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ ، يَقُولُ : مَا كُنَّا نَرَى بِالْمُزَارَعَةِ بَأْسًا ، حَتَّى سَمِعْتُ رَافِعَ بْنَ خَدِيجٍ ، يَقُولُ : إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْه وَسَلَّمَ نَهَى عَنْهَا ، فَذَكَرْتُهُ لِطَاوُسٍ ، فَقَالَ : قَالَ لِي ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ : إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمْ يَنْهَ عَنْهَا ، وَلَكِنْ قَالَ : " لَأَنْ يَمْنَحَ أَحَدُكُمْ أَرْضَهُ ، خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ عَلَيْهَا خَرَاجًا مَعْلُومًا " .
Amr ibn Dinar said: I heard Ibn Umar say: We did not see any harm in sharecropping till I heard Rafi ibn Khadij say: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ has forbidden it. So I mentioned it to Tawus. He said: Ibn Abbas told me that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had not forbidden it, but said: It is better for one of you to lend to his brother than to take a prescribed sum from him.

Benefit:
It is established from this hadith that giving land on a sharecropping basis is permissible, as long as there is no deception involved. If there is deception in it, then it is not permissible at that time. Both the owner of the land and the sharecropper will be partners in both profit and loss.
