أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ ، قَالَ : أَنْبَأَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ عَمْرٍو ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْكَرِيمِ ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ ، قَالَ : أَخَذْتُ بِيَدِ طَاوُسٍ حَتَّى أَدْخَلْتُهُ عَلَى ابْنِ رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ ، فَحَدَّثَهُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " أَنَّهُ نَهَى عَنْ كِرَاءِ الْأَرْضِ " . فَأَبَى طَاوُسٌ , فَقَالَ : سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ لَا يَرَى بِذَلِكَ بَأْسًا . وَرَوَاهُ أَبُو عَوَانَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي حَصِينٍ ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ ، قَالَ : قَالَ : عَنْ رَافِعٍ مُرْسَلًا .
´It was narrated that Mujahid said:` "I took Tawus by the hand and brought him to Ibn Rafi' bin Khadij, and he told him, narrating from his father, that the Messenger of Allah forbade leasing land. Tawus rejected that and said: 'I heard Ibn 'Abbas (say) that he did not see anything wrong with that.'"
Explanation & Benefits
Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
It is as if the prohibition of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) to Hazrat Rafi‘ was specific to those like him—large landowners or those who leased land on oppressive conditions—and was not general. Otherwise, the noble Companions (radi Allahu anhum) would not have leased land on sharecropping after his (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) passing. And this is a correct inference.
