اُردوEn
عَنْ أَبِي النَّجَاشِيِّ مَوْلَى رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ رَافِعًا رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنْ كِرَاءِ الْأَرْضِ فَقُلْتُ إِنَّ لِي أَرْضًا أُكْرِيهَا فَقَالَ رَافِعٌ لَا تُكْرِهَا بِشَيْءٍ فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ مَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ أَرْضٌ فَلْيَزْرَعْهَا فَإِنْ لَمْ يَزْرَعْهَا فَلْيُزْرِعْهَا أَخَاهُ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَفْعَلْ فَلْيَدَعْهَا فَقُلْتُ لَهُ أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ تَرَكْتُهَا وَأَرْضِي فَإِنْ زَرَعَهَا ثُمَّ بَعَثَ إِلَيَّ مِنَ التِّبْنِ قَالَ لَا تَأْخُذْ مِنْهَا شَيْئًا وَلَا تِبْنًا قُلْتُ إِنِّي لَمْ أُشَارِطْهُ إِنَّمَا أَهْدَى إِلَيَّ شَيْئًا قَالَ لَا تَأْخُذْ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا
Abu Najashi, the slave of Sayyiduna Rafi’, says: I asked Sayyiduna Rafi’ (may Allah be pleased with him) about giving land on rent and said: I have land, can I give it on rent? He said: Do not give it for anything in exchange, because I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: Whoever owns land should cultivate it himself, and if he does not cultivate it himself, then he should give it to his brother to cultivate, and if he does not do even that, then he should just leave it as it is. I said: Please tell me, if I leave my land uncultivated, but if my brother cultivates it and sends me some fodder (is there any harm in that)? He said: Do not take anything from him, not even fodder. I said: I do not set any condition with him, he just sends me something as a gift? He said: Do not take anything from him.
