Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 39053 — Composure in the prayer and unhurried

Abu Ja'far al-Khatmi says: My uncle sent me and a slave of his to Sa'id bin al-Musayyib (to ask): What do you say about sharecropping (muzara'ah)? He said: Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) used to see no harm in it, until this hadith was narrated to him concerning sharecropping: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) went to Banu Harithah and saw a crop on the land of Zuhayr, and he said: "How fine is the crop of Zuhayr!" The people told him that this crop was not Zuhayr's. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Is this land not Zuhayr's?" The people said: "Yes indeed, (it is his), but so-and-so has cultivated it." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Return to that so-and-so his expense and take your crop." Sayyiduna Rafi' (may Allah be pleased with him) says: We took our crop and returned to him his expense. It is mentioned that the view of (Imam) Abu Hanifah is: He should uproot his crop.
