Sunan Abu Dawud 3407 — Regarding Mukhabarah

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ أَيُّوبَ ، عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ بُرْقَانَ ، عَنْ ثَابِتِ بْنِ الْحَجَّاجِ ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ ، قَالَ : " نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنِ الْمُخَابَرَةِ ، قُلْتُ : وَمَا الْمُخَابَرَةُ ؟ ، قَالَ : أَنْ تَأْخُذَ الْأَرْضَ بِنِصْفٍ ، أَوْ ثُلُثٍ ، أَوْ رُبْعٍ " .
Narrated Zaid bin Thabit: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade mukhabarah. I asked: What is mukhabarah ? He replied: That you have the land (for cultivation) for half, a third, or a quarter (of the produce).
