It is narrated from Sayyiduna Zayd bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him); he said: the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade mukhabarah. (The narrator Thabit bin al-Hajjaj said:) I asked: "What is mukhabarah?" He said: "That you take land (for cultivation) in return for a half, a third or a quarter (of its produce)."
