بَابُ حُجَّةِ مَنْ مَنَعَ كِرَاءَ الْأَرْضِ بِبَعْضِ مَا يَخْرُجُ مِنْهَا إِلَّا بِالذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةِ
Chapter: The evidence of those who prohibit renting land for a share of its produce except for gold and silver
Al-Fath ar-Rabbani 6124 — The evidence of those who prohibit renting
عَنِ ابْنِ طَاوُسٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ لَأَنْ يَمْنَحَ أَحَدُكُمْ أَخَاهُ أَرْضَهُ خَيْرٌ لَهُ مِنْ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ عَلَيْهَا كَذَا وَكَذَا لِشَيْءٍ مَعْلُومٍ قَالَ قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ وَهُوَ الْحَقْلُ بِلِسَانِ الْأَنْصَارِ الْمُحَاقَلَةُ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them both, that he said: If a man gives land to his brother as a gift, it is better than taking something specific in exchange for it. Then Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them both, said: This is called "haql" and in the language of the Ansar, it is called "muhaqala."
