It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he used to rent out his land. He was told of the hadith of Sayyiduna Rafi' (may Allah be pleased with him), so he came to Sayyiduna Rafi' (may Allah be pleased with him) and asked him (about it), and Sayyiduna Rafi' (may Allah be pleased with him) told him. Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: You know that the landowners in the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to give out their lands (on rent), and the owner would stipulate the banks of the stream, the water of the crop and a known share. And Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) thought that the prohibition was because of these conditions.
