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.

Nafi’ (may Allah have mercy on him) narrated that Sayyiduna Ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) used to rent out his fields during the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), Sayyiduna Abu Bakr, Sayyiduna ‘Umar, and Sayyiduna ‘Uthman (may Allah be pleased with them), and in the early period of the caliphate of Sayyiduna Mu‘awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him). Then it was narrated through Rafi‘ bin Khadij (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) had forbidden renting out fields. (Upon hearing this) Sayyiduna Ibn ‘Umar went to Sayyiduna Rafi‘ bin Khadij (may Allah be pleased with him), and I was with him. Sayyiduna Ibn ‘Umar asked him, and he replied that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) had forbidden renting out fields. Upon this, Ibn ‘Umar said, “Do you know, during the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), we used to rent out our fields for the produce that would grow along the water channels and for a little grass.”
