Abdullah bin al-Sa'ib (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I asked Abdullah bin Ma'qil (may Allah be pleased with him) about muzara'ah (sharecropping), and he said: Thabit bin al-Dahhak (may Allah be pleased with him) told me that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) "forbade muzara'ah."
