Musnad Abi Ya'la 2142 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Whoever has
وَحَدَّثَنَا جَابِرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : مَنْ كَانَ لَهُ فَضْلُ مَاءٍ أَوْ أَرْضٍ فَلْيَزْرَعْهَا ، أَوْ يُزْرِعْهَا أَخَاهُ ، وَلَا تَبِيعُوهَا ، قَالَ سُلَيْمٌ : قُلْتُ : يَا سَعِيدُ ، مَا يَعْنِي بِالْبَيْعِ ؟ الْكِرَاءُ ؟ قَالَ : نَعَمْ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever has surplus water or land should cultivate it himself or give it to his brother (as a gift) to cultivate, and do not sell it." Sulaym (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates: I asked Sa'id (may Allah have mercy on him) whether by sale (the word mentioned in the hadith) here is meant renting out the land. He replied: "Yes."
