Chapter 23 · Commercial Transactions (Kitab Al-Buyu)فِي الْمُزَارَعَةِ
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ، يَقُولُ: مَا كُنَّا نَرَى بِالْمُزَارَعَةِ بَأْسًا، حَتَّى سَمِعْتُ رَافِعَ بْنَ خَدِيجٍ، يَقُولُ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْه وَسَلَّمَ نَهَى عَنْهَا، فَذَكَرْتُهُ لِطَاوُسٍ، فَقَالَ: قَالَ لِي ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمْ يَنْهَ عَنْهَا، وَلَكِنْ قَالَ: لَأَنْ يَمْنَحَ أَحَدُكُمْ أَرْضَهُ، خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ عَلَيْهَا خَرَاجًا مَعْلُومًا .

Muzara'ah (Sharecropping)
I heard Ibn Umar رضی اللہ عنہما say: We did not see any harm in sharecropping till I heard Rafi bin Khadij رضی اللہ عنہ say: The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم has forbidden it. So I mentioned it to Tawus. He said: Ibn Abbas رضی اللہ عنہما told me that the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم had not forbidden it, but said: It is better for one of you to lend to his brother than to take a prescribed sum from him.
