حَدَّثَنِي
إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ ، أَخْبَرَنَا
أَبُو مُسْهِرٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي
يَحْيَى بْنُ حَمْزَةَ ، حَدَّثَنِي
أَبُو عَمْرٍو الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ ، عَنْ
أَبِي النَّجَاشِيِّ مَوْلَى رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ ، عَنْ
رَافِعٍ : أَنَّ
ظُهَيْرَ بْنَ رَافِعٍ ، وَهُوَ عَمُّهُ ، قَالَ : أَتَانِي ظُهَيْرٌ ، فَقَالَ : لَقَدْ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ أَمْرٍ كَانَ بِنَا رَافِقًا ، فَقُلْتُ : وَمَا ذَاكَ ؟ مَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَهُوَ حَقٌّ ، قَالَ : سَأَلَنِي كَيْفَ تَصْنَعُونَ بِمَحَاقِلِكُمْ ؟ فَقُلْتُ : نُؤَاجِرُهَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، عَلَى الرَّبِيعِ ، أَوِ الْأَوْسُقِ مِنَ التَّمْرِ ، أَوِ الشَّعِيرِ ، قَالَ : " فَلَا تَفْعَلُوا ، ازْرَعُوهَا ، أَوْ أَزْرِعُوهَا ، أَوْ أَمْسِكُوهَا " .
Rafi (RA) reported that Zuhair bin Rafi (who was his uncle) came to me and said: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) forbade a practice which was useful for us. I said: What is this? (I believe) that whatrver Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) says is absolutely true. He (Zuhair) said that he (the Holy Prophet) asked me: What do you do with your cultivable lands? I said: Allah's Messenger, we rent those irrigated by canals for dry dates or barley. He said: Don't do that. Cultivate them or let them be cultivated (by others) or retain them yourself.
Hadith 1548
This hadith has been transmitted on the authority of Rafi from the Prophet (ﷺ) about this, but he did not make mention of his uncle Zuhair.
Hadith 2362
Rafi' bin Khadij reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) came to Madinah and the people had been grafting the trees. He said: What are you doing? They said: We are grafting them, whereupon he said: It may perhaps be good for you if you do not do that, so they abandoned this practice (and the date-palms) began to yield less fruit. They made a mention of it (to the Holy Prophet), whereupon he said: I am a human being, so when I command you about a thing pertaining to religion, do accept it, and when I command you about a thing out of my personal opinion, keep it in mind that I am a human being. 'Ikrima reported that he said something like this.
