Ibn Rafi' bin Khadij (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates from his father; he said: Sayyiduna Rafi' (may Allah be pleased with him) came to us from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade us from something that was a convenience for us, whereas obedience to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) is a greater convenience for us. He (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade us from cultivating any land except land whose ownership belongs to one of us, or a gift that a man gives (to another)."
