Chapter 23 · Commercial Transactions (Kitab Al-Buyu)حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ بْنِ مَيْسَرَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ، عَنْ يَعْلَى بْنِ حَكِيمٍ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، أَنَّ رَافِعَ بْنَ خَدِيجٍ، قَالَ: كُنَّا نُخَابِرُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَذَكَرَ أَنَّ بَعْضَ عُمُومَتِهِ أَتَاهُ، فَقَالَ: نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ أَمْرٍ كَانَ لَنَا نَافِعًا، وَطَوَاعِيَةُ اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ أَنْفَعُ لَنَا، وَأَنْفَعُ، قَالَ: قُلْنَا: وَمَا ذَاكَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: مَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ أَرْضٌ فَلْيَزْرَعْهَا، أَوْ فَلْيُزْرِعْهَا أَخَاهُ، وَلَا يُكَارِيهَا بِثُلُثٍ، وَلَا بِرُبُعٍ، وَلَا بِطَعَامٍ مُسَمًّى .

We used to employ people to till land for a share of it produce. He then maintained that, one of his uncles came to him and said: The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم forbade us from a work which beneficial to us. But obedience to Allah and His Messenger صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم is more beneficial to us. We asked: What is that ? He said: The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: If anyone has land, he should cultivate it, or lend it to his brother for cultivation. He should not rent it for a third or a quarter (of the produce) or for specified among of produce.
