Imam Mujahid (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I heard Sayyiduna Rafi' bin Khadij (may Allah be pleased with him) say: My paternal uncles went to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), then came back to us and said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) has forbidden you from something that was beneficial to us, but obedience to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) is more beneficial to you. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Let one of you cultivate his land himself, or give it to someone, or leave it lying fallow."
