Hadith 6130

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ مَيْسَرَةَ عَنْ طَاوُسٍ وَعَطَاءٍ وَمُجَاهِدٍ عَنْ رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ خَرَجَ إِلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَنَهَانَا عَنْ أَمْرٍ كَانَ لَنَا نَافِعًا وَأَمْرُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَيْرٌ لَنَا مِمَّا نَهَانَا عَنْهُ قَالَ مَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ أَرْضٌ فَلْيَزْرَعْهَا أَوْ لِيَذَرْهَا أَوْ لِيَمْنَحْهَا قَالَ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِطَاوُسٍ وَكَانَ يَرَى أَنَّ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ مِنْ أَعْلَمِهِمْ قَالَ قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا إِنَّمَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ أَرْضٌ أَنْ يَمْنَحَهَا أَخَاهُ خَيْرٌ لَهُ قَالَ شُعْبَةُ وَكَانَ عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ يَجْمَعُ هَؤُلَاءِ طَاوُسًا وَعَطَاءً وَمُجَاهِدًا وَكَانَ الَّذِي يُحَدِّثُ عَنْهُ مُجَاهِدٌ قَالَ شُعْبَةُ كَأَنَّهُ صَاحِبُ الْحَدِيثِ
Narrated from Sayyiduna Rafi’ bin Khadij (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came to us and forbade us from a practice that was beneficial for us. Nevertheless, the command of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) is better for us than that practice from which he forbade us. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever has land, he should cultivate it himself, or leave it as it is, or give it to his brother as a gift for cultivation. Abdul Malik says: I mentioned this hadith to Tawus, and he thought that in this matter, Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) was the most knowledgeable, and he narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever has land, if he gives it to his brother for cultivation, then that is better for him. Imam Shu’bah says: Abdul Malik would combine these three narrators: Tawus, Ata, and Mujahid, and regarding the narrator who reported from Mujahid, Shu’bah thought that he was a person of hadith.
