Sayyiduna Abdur-Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) rented a piece of land, and it remained in his possession until he died. His son said: Because it had remained so long in my father's possession, I thought it was his property, until at the time of his death he mentioned it and commanded us to pay something of its rent in gold or silver.
