Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 4408 — Abu al-Najashi Ata' bin Suhayb

حَدَّثَنَا بَكْرُ بْنُ سَهْلٍ، ثنا نُعَيْمُ بْنُ حَمَّادٍ، ثنا ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، عَنِ الْأَوْزَاعِيِّ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو النَّجَاشِيِّ عَطَاءُ بْنُ صُهَيْبٍ، مَوْلَى رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ، قَالَ: صَحِبْتُ رَافِعَ بْنَ خَدِيجٍ سِتَّ سِنِينَ فَحَدَّثَنِي، عَنْ عَمِّهِ ظُهَيْرِ بْنِ رَافِعٍ، أَنَّهُ لَقِيَهُ يَوْمًا، فَقَالَ لَهُ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَهَانَا عَنْ أَمْرٍ كَانَ لَنَا نَافِعًا، قَالَ رَافِعٌ: فَقُلْتُ مَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَهُوَ الْحَقُّ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَرَأَيْتَ مَحَاقِلَتِكُمْ مَاذَا تَصْنَعُونَ بِهَا؟» قُلْنَا: نُؤْجِرُهَا عَلَى الرُّبُعِ وَعَلَى الْأَوْسُقِ مِنَ التَّمْرِ وَالشَّعِيرِ، قَالَ: «فَلَا تَفْعَلُوا، ازْرَعُوهَا أَوْ أَزْرِعُوهَا أَوْ أَمْسِكُوهَا»
Abu al-Najashi Ata' bin Suhayb (may Allah have mercy on him), the freed slave of Sayyiduna Rafi' bin Khadij (may Allah be pleased with him), said: I remained in the company of Sayyiduna Rafi' bin Khadij (may Allah be pleased with him) for six years, and he narrated to me from his paternal uncle Zuhayr bin Rafi' (may Allah be pleased with him) that he met him one day and said to him: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) has forbidden us something that was beneficial to us. Sayyiduna Rafi' (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I said: Whatever the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) has said is the truth. He said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Tell me about your farmlands - what do you do with them?" We said: We rent them out for a quarter of the produce, or for some wasqs of dates and barley. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do not do that. Cultivate them yourselves, or have someone else cultivate them, or leave them unused."
