عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ أَصْحَابَ الْمَزَارِعِ فِي زَمَانِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانُوا يُكْرُونَ مَزَارِعَهُمْ بِمَا يَكُونُ عَلَى السَّوَاقِي مِنَ الزَّرْعِ وَمَا سَعِدَ بِالْمَاءِ مِمَّا حَوْلَ الْبِئْرِ فَجَاءُوا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَاخْتَصَمُوا فِي بَعْضِ ذَلِكَ فَنَهَاهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يُكْرُوا بِذَلِكَ وَقَالَ اكْرُوا بِالذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةِ
Narrated by Sayyiduna Sa’d bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him): In the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), the owners of fields used to lease their lands in exchange for that portion of land where water channels flowed or around wells where water would rise by itself. But when they brought some disputes regarding these matters to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), he forbade them from leasing land in this manner and said: Lease land in exchange for gold and silver.
