It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him) that during the blessed era of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), we used to lease out our fields and would stipulate as compensation that the produce which grew over the water channels and which was irrigated naturally would be ours. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade leasing land in this manner, and permitted leasing land in exchange for gold and silver.
