Hadith 993

993 صحيح حديث جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ، قَالَ: كَانَتْ لِرِجَالٍ مِنَّا فُضُولُ أَرَضِينَ، فَقَالُوا: نُؤَاجِرُهَا بِالثُّلثِ وَالرُّبُعِ وَالنِّصْفِ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : مَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ أَرْضٌ فَلْيَزْرَعْهَا أَو لِيَمْنَحْهَا أَخَاهُ فَإِنْ أَبَى فَلْيُمْسِكْ أَرْضَهُ
Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that many of us had extra land. They said that why should we not give it on sharecropping for a third, a quarter, or a half? Upon this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever has land should cultivate it himself, or give it as a gift to his brother, and if he cannot do that, then he should keep the land with himself.
