It was narrated that Hanzalah bin Qais Al-Ansari said: "I asked Rafi' bin Khadij about leasing land in return for Dinars and silver. He said: 'There is nothing wrong with that. During the time of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) they used to rent land to one another in return for what grew on the banks of streams and where the springs emerged - some areas of which might give good produce and some might give none at all - and the people did not lease land in any other way. So that was forbidden. But as for leases where the return is known and guaranteed, there is nothing wrong with that.'"

It was narrated that Hanzalah bin Qais said: "I asked Rafi' bin Khadij about leasing land. He said: 'The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) forbade leasing land.' I said: 'For gold or silver?' He said: 'No, rather he forbade leasing it in return for what the land produces. As for gold and silver, there is nothing wrong with that.'"

It was narrated that Rafi' bin Khadij said: "The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) forbade us to lease our land. At that time there was no gold nor silver. A man would lease his land in return for what grew on the banks of streams and where the springs emerged, and in return for something specific."

It was narrated from Az-Zuhri that Salim bin 'Abdullah narrated something similar.

Salim bin Abdullah narrated that Abdullah bin Umar used to lease his land until he heard that Rafi bin Khadij forbade leasing land. Abdullah met him and said: "O Ibn Khadij, what do you narrate from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) about leasing land?" Rafi said to Abdullah: "I heard two of my uncles, who had been present at Badr, telling the people in the house, that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) forbade leasing land." Abdullah said: "I knew that at the time of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) land used to be leased." Then Abdullah was concerned that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) had decreed something and he had not known about it, so he stopped leasing land.

It was narrated from Shu'aib: "Az-Zuhri said: 'Ibn Al-Musayyab used to say: 'There is nothing wrong with leasing land in return for gold and silver, and Rafi bin Khadij used to narrate that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) forbade that.''"

Rafi bin Khadij told Abdullah bin Umar that his paternal uncles went to the Messenger of Allah, then they came back and told them that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) had forbidden leasing arable land. Abdullah said: "We knew that he owned some arable land that he leased at the time of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) in return for whatever grew on the banks of the streams of water, and for a certain amount of straw, I do not know how much it was." Ibn Awn reported it from Nafi but he said: "From some of his paternal uncles."

It was narrated from Ibn 'Umar that he used to take rent for land until Rafi' narrated to him, from some of his paternal uncles, that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) forbade leasing land. So he stopped doing that afterward.

It was narrated that Jabir said: "The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) forbade Al-Mukhabarah, Al-Muhaqalah and Al-Muzabanah."

It was narrated that 'Abdur-Rahman bin Hurmuz said: "I heard Usaid bin Rafi' bin Khadij Al-Ansari say that they did not allow Al-Muhaqalah, which is land that is cultivated in return for some of its produce."

It was narrated that 'Urwah bin Az-Zubair said: "Zaid bin Thabit said: 'May Allah forgive Rafi' bin Khadij. By Allah, I have more knowledge of the Hadith than him. We were two men who fought and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: If this is how it is between you, then do not lease land. And he only heard the words: Do not lease land.'"
