Zuhair bin Rafi رضی اللہ عنہ (who was his uncle) came to me and said: Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) forbade a practice which was useful for us. I said: What is this? (I believe) that whatever Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) says is absolutely true. He (Zuhair) said that he (the Holy Prophet) asked me: What do you do with your cultivable lands? I said: Allah's Messenger, we rent those irrigated by canals for dry dates or barley. He said: Don't do that. Cultivate them or let them be cultivated (by others) or retain them yourself.
