Hadith 6117

عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ قَدْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّ الْأَرْضَ كَانَتْ تُكْرَى عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِمَا عَلَى الْأَرْبِعَاءِ وَشَيْءٍ مِنَ التِّبْنِ لَا أَدْرِي كَمْ هُوَ وَأَنَّ ابْنَ عُمَرَ كَانَ يُكْرِي أَرْضَهُ فِي عَهْدِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَعَهْدِ عُمَرَ وَعَهْدِ عُثْمَانَ وَصَدْرِ إِمَارَةِ مُعَاوِيَةَ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ فِي آخِرِهَا بَلَغَهُ أَنَّ رَافِعًا يُحَدِّثُ فِي ذَلِكَ بِنَهْيِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَتَاهُ وَأَنَا مَعَهُ فَسَأَلَهُ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ كِرَاءِ الْمَزَارِعِ فَتَرَكَهَا ابْنُ عُمَرَ فَكَانَ لَا يُكْرِيهَا فَكَانَ إِذَا سُئِلَ يَقُولُ زَعَمَ ابْنُ خَدِيجٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَهَى عَنْ كِرَاءِ الْمَزَارِعِ
It is narrated from Imam Nafi that Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: I know that in the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), lands were leased out for a certain amount of crops and fodder that grew near small canals, but I do not know how much the amount of fodder was. And Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) used to lease out his land during the times of Sayyiduna Abu Bakr, Sayyiduna Umar, and Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with them) and at the beginning of the era of Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him). When the later period of Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) was ongoing, he received the information that Sayyiduna Rafi (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade leasing land in this manner. So he went to him, and I, Nafi, was also with him, and he asked him about this hadith. He said: Yes, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade leasing fields. After that, Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) abandoned this practice and stopped leasing out land. Then, when he was asked about this, he would say: Sayyiduna Rafi bin Khadij (may Allah be pleased with him) believes that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade leasing fields.
