Chapter: Lending Land In Return For One Third Or One Quarter (Of The Crop)
Sunan Ibn Majah 2452 — Lending Land In Return For One Third Or One
حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْجَوْهَرِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو تَوْبَةَ الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ نَافِعٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ سَلَّامٍ ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " مَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ أَرْضٌ فَلْيَزْرَعْهَا أَوْ لِيَمْنَحْهَا أَخَاهُ فَإِنْ أَبَى فَلْيُمْسِكْ أَرْضَهُ .
´It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:` “Whoever has land, let him cultivate it (himself) or let him give it to his brother (for free, to cultivate it), and if he does not want to do that, let him keep his land.”

Brief Explanation
1؎: The hadiths of this meaning should be interpreted as pertaining to the rulings of the early period of Islam, because it is unanimously permissible to lease land in exchange for gold and silver, whereas these hadiths also prohibit that.
