Hadith 767
عن ابن عمر رضي الله عنهما : أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم عامل أهل خيبر بشطر ما يخرج منها من ثمر أو زرع. متفق عليه. وفي رواية لهما : فسألوه أن يقرهم بها على أن يكفوا عملها ولهم نصف الثمر فقال لهم رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم : « نقركم بها على ذلك ما شئنا » فقروا بها حتى أجلاهم عمر. ولمسلم : أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم دفع إلى يهود خيبر نخل خيبر وأرضها على أن يعتملوها من أموالهم ولهم شطر ثمرها.
Narrated Ibn 'Umar (RA): Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had agreed with the people of Khaibar to give (to the Muslim authority) half what it produced of fruits or crops. [Agreed upon]. A narration by al-Bukhari and Muslim has: They asked him (ﷺ) to allow them to stay on the land, on condition that they should do all the cultivation and have half the dates. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) replied to them, "We shall allow you to stay on the land, on that condition, as long as we wish." So they remained on the land till 'Umar (RA) expelled them. Muslim has: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) handed over to the Jews of Khaibar, the palm-trees and the land of Khaibar, on condition that they should employ their own resources in working on it and keep half of its produce.
Hadith 768
عن حنظلة بن قيس رضي الله عنه قال : سألت رافع بن خديج عن كراء الأرض بالذهب والفضة ؟ فقال : لا بأس به إنما كان الناس يؤاجرون على عهد رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم على الماذيانات وأقبال الجداول وأشياء من الزرع فيهلك هذا ويسلم هذا ويسلم هذا ويهلك هذا ولم يكن للناس كراء إلا هذا فلذلك زجر عنه فأما شيء معلوم مضمون فلا بأس به. رواه مسلم. وفيه بيان لما أجمل في المتفق عليه من إطلاق النهي عن كراء الأرض.
Narrated Hanzala bin Qais (RA): I asked Rafi' bin Khadij (RA) about renting land for gold and silver and he replied, "There is no harm in that, as the people used to rent land in the time of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) for what grew by the river-beds, and the edges of the brooks/streams, or for a portion of the crop. However, sometimes this portion of the crop would be destroyed while the other is saved, or vice-versa. Thus, there would be no wages to pay the people (the owners of the land) except for the portion which produced a crop." For this reason, he warned against this (practice). However, if it is (rented) for something known and guaranteed, then there is no harm in it. [Muslim reported it]. This narration contains a clarification of what was mentioned in general terms in the previous narration of al-Bukhari and Muslim, regarding the general prohibition of renting out land.

Narrated Abu Hurairah (RA): Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: "Allah, the Great and Glorious, has said, "There are three whose adversary I shall be on the Day of Resurrection: A man who gave a promise in My Name and then betrayed; a man who sold a free man and consumed his price; and a man who hired a worker and, after receiving full service from him, did not give him his wages.'"
