Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Hazrat Ibrahim bin Muhajir (may Allah have mercy on him) says that I asked Hazrat Musa bin Talha about sharecropping (muzara’ah). He told me that Hazrat Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) gave his land to Hazrat Khabbab, Hazrat Abdullah, Hazrat Sa’d, and Hazrat Suhaib (may Allah be pleased with them), and I saw that he gave the land under the terms of one-third and one-fourth sharecropping.
