كتاب كراء الأرضBook: On Renting Out Land
بَابُ مَا جَاءَ فِي كِرَاءِ الْأَرْضِChapter on what is reported regarding renting land
Hadith 1406
وَحَدَّثَنِي وَحَدَّثَنِي مَالِك، أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ عَوْفٍ تَكَارَى أَرْضًا، فَلَمْ تَزَلْ فِي يَدَيْهِ بِكِرَاءٍ حَتَّى مَاتَ، قَالَ ابْنُهُ : فَمَا كُنْتُ أُرَاهَا إِلَّا لَنَا مِنْ طُولِ مَا مَكَثَتْ فِي يَدَيْهِ، حَتَّى ذَكَرَهَا لَنَا عِنْدَ مَوْتِهِ " فَأَمَرَنَا بِقَضَاءِ شَيْءٍ كَانَ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ كِرَائِهَا ذَهَبٍ أَوْ وَرِقٍ "
Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) leased a piece of land, which remained with him until his death. His son said: We considered it our property because it remained with us for a long time. When Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman (may Allah be pleased with him) was about to die, he said: It is leased, and he ordered that the rent which was due upon him be paid, in gold or silver.
