Amr bin Dinar (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I heard Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) say: We did not consider muzara'ah disliked until I heard Rafi' (may Allah be pleased with him) say that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade muzara'ah. It is narrated from Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not forbid muzara'ah, and said: "That a man gives land to his brother is better for him than taking rent from him."
