Mujahid (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I took Tawus by the hand and brought him to the son of Sayyiduna Rafi' bin Khadij (may Allah be pleased with him), and he narrated to him from his father, from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), that he (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade renting out bare (treeless) land.
