وحَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى ، أَخْبَرَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ : " أَنَّ ابْنَ عُمَرَ كَانَ يُكْرِي مَزَارِعَهُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَفِي إِمَارَةِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ، وَعُمَرَ ، وَعُثْمَانَ ، وَصَدْرًا مِنْ خِلَافَةِ مُعَاوِيَةَ ، حَتَّى بَلَغَهُ فِي آخِرِ خِلَافَةِ مُعَاوِيَةَ ، أَنَّ رَافِعَ بْنَ خَدِيجٍ ، يُحَدِّثُ فِيهَا بِنَهْيٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ ، وَأَنَا مَعَهُ فَسَأَلَهُ ، فَقَالَ : كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " يَنْهَى عَنْ كِرَاءِ الْمَزَارِعِ " ، فَتَرَكَهَا ابْنُ عُمَرَ بَعْدُ ، وَكَانَ إِذَا سُئِلَ عَنْهَا بَعْدُ قَالَ : زَعَمَ رَافِعُ بْنُ خَدِيجٍ : أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَهَى عَنْهَا .
Nafi reported that Ibn 'Umar (RA) rented his land during the lifetime of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and during the caliphate of Abu Bakr (RA) and that of Umar and that of 'Uthman (RA) and during the early period of Muawiya's caliphate until at the end of Muawiya's reign, it reached him (Ibn 'Umar) that Rafi bin Khadij (RA) narratted (a hadith) in which (there was a decree) of prohibition by Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) . He (Ibn 'Umar) went to him (Rafi bin Khadij) and I was with him and he asked him, whereupon he said: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) used to forbid the renting of land. So Ibn 'Umar (RA) abandoned it, and subsequently whenever he was asked about it, he said: Rafi bin Khadij (RA) alleged that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) forbade it.
