حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَسْمَاءَ ، حَدَّثَنَا جُوَيْرِيَةُ ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ ، عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، أَنَّ سَالِمَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَخْبَرَهُ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَ رَافِعُ بْنُ خَدِيجٍ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ ، أَنَّ عَمَّيْهِ وَكَانَا شَهِدَا بَدْرًا أَخْبَرَاهُ , " أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَهَى عَنْ كِرَاءِ الْمَزَارِعِ " , قُلْتُ لِسَالِمٍ فَتُكْرِيهَا أَنْتَ ، قَالَ : نَعَمْ إِنَّ رَافِعًا أَكْثَرَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ " .
Narrated Az-Zuhri: Salim bin `Abdullah told me that Rafi` bin Khadij told `Abdullah bin `Umar that his two paternal uncles who had fought in the battle of Badr informed him that Allah's Apostle forbade the renting of fields. I said to Salim, "Do you rent your land?" He said, "Yes, for Rafi` is mistaken."

Hadith Commentary:
That they considered giving land on absolute rent to be prohibited.
Whereas what the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) actually forbade was giving land on rent in exchange for a portion of its produce, that is, sharecropping a specific plot.
But he did not prohibit fixing a cash amount as rent; that is permissible.
This discussion has already passed in the Book of Muzara‘ah (Sharecropping).
The hadith mentions the Badri Companions (radi Allahu anhum).
‘Allamah Qastallani writes: “And they used to rent out land for what grew on it along the banks of the small river, or for something which the owner of the land would exclude for himself from the crops, and for this reason the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) forbade it, due to the ignorance (uncertainty) involved.” (Qastallani)
That is, the Arabs used to rent out land in such a way that the crops near the water channels or certain specific plots of land would be reserved for themselves; this the Noble Messenger (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) forbade.

Hadith Commentary:
➊
The two uncles of Hazrat Rafi‘ (radi Allahu anhu) are Zahir and Mazhar, who are the sons of Rafi‘ bin ‘Adi bin Yazid al-Ansari.
Both of them participated in the Battle of Badr, as is explicitly mentioned in the narration. However, Allamah Dimyati has denied this, stating that both participated in the Battle of Uhud.
He has said this relying on the narrations of Ibn Sa‘d, even though their participation in the Battle of Badr is established by authentic narrations.
His denial is not based on fact.
(Fath al-Bari: 7/400)
➋
A complete discussion regarding sharecropping (muzara‘ah) and leasing (musaqat) has already passed in the Book of Transactions (Kitab al-Buyu‘).
It is prohibited to lease land in exchange for a specific portion of the produce, but the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) did not prohibit leasing land in exchange for money, since the first type could lead to disputes.
Therefore, the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) forbade it.
And Allah knows best.
