Chapter 23 · The Book of Transactionsالأَرْضِ تُمْنَحُ
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، أَخْبَرَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو، أَنَّ مُجَاهِدًا، قَالَ لِطَاوُسٍ: انْطَلِقْ بِنَا إِلَى ابْنِ رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ، فَاسْمَعْ مِنْهُ الْحَدِيثَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: فَانْتَهَرَهُ، قَالَ: إِنِّي وَاللهِ لَوْ أَعْلَمُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَهَى عَنْهُ مَا فَعَلْتُهُ، وَلَكِنْ حَدَّثَنِي مَنْ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِهِ مِنْهُمْ، يَعْنِي ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «لَأَنْ يَمْنَحَ الرَّجُلُ أَخَاهُ أَرْضَهُ، خَيْرٌ لَهُ مِنْ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ عَلَيْهَا خَرْجًا مَعْلُومًا.

Lending Land
Come along with me to Ibn Rafi bin Khadij رضی اللہ عنہ in order to listen from him the hadith transmitted on the authority of his father (pertaining to the renting of land) from Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ). He (Tawus) scolded him and said: By Allah, it I were to know that Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) had forbidden it, I would have never done it. But it has been narrated to me by one who has better knowledge of it amongst them (and he meant Ibn 'Abbas رضی اللہ عنہ) that Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: It is better if a person lends, his land to his brother (for cultivation) than that he gets recognized rent on it.
