It was narrated from Ibrahim and Sa'eed bin Jubair that they did not see anything wrong with renting uncultivated land.

It was narrated that Sa'eed bin Al-Musayyab said: "There is nothing wrong with renting uncultivated land for gold and silver."

It was narrated that Abu Sa'eed said: "When you hire a worker, tell him what his wages will be."

It was narrated from Al-Hasan that he disliked to hire a man without telling him what his wages would be.

It was narrated from Hammad -Ibn Abi Sulaiman- that he was asked about a man who hired a worker in return for food and he said: "No, not until he tells him (what his wages will be)."

It was narrated from Hammad and Qatadah, concerning a man who said to another man: "I will lease (something) from you until I reach Makkah for such and such a payment, and if I travel for a month or such and such -something that he named- I will give you such and such in addition." They did not see anything wrong with that, but they did not like it if he said: "If I travel for more than a month I will deduct such and such from your lease."

It was narrated that Ibn Juraij said: "I said to 'Ata': 'What if I hire a slave for a year in return for his food, and for another year, in return for such and such?' He said: 'There is nothing wrong with that, and you may stipulate your conditions of hiring even for a few days.' 'How about if I make a deal to hire him when part of the year has passed?' He said: 'Do not hold me to account for what has passed.'"

It was narrated from Usaid bin Zuhair that he went out to his people, Banu Harithah, and said: "O Banu Harithah, a calamity has befallen you." They said: "What is it?" He said: "The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) has forbidden leasing land." We said: "O Messenger of Allah, what if we lease it in return for some of the grain?" He said, "No." He said: "We used to lease it in return for straw." He said: "No." "We used to lease it in return for what is planted on the banks of a stream that is used for irrigation." He said: "No. Cultivate it (yourself) or give it to your brother."

It was narrated that Usaid bin Zuhair said: "Rafi' bin Khadij came to us and said: 'The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) has forbidden something that was beneficial for us, but obedience to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) is better for you. He has forbidden Al-Haql (renting land in return for one-third or one-quarter of the produce) to you, and says: Whoever has land, let him give it (to someone else to cultivate it) or leave it. And he has forbidden Al-Muzabanah. Al-Muzabanah means when a man has a lot of date-palm trees and another man comes and takes it in return for a certain number of Wasqs of dried dates.'"

It was narrated that Usaid bin Zuhair said: "Rafi' bin Khadij came to us and I was not sure what he meant. He said: 'The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) has forbidden to you something that used to benefit you, but obedience to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) is better for you than that which benefits you. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) has forbidden Al-Haql for you. Al-Haql means share-cropping the land in return for one-third or one-quarter (of the yield). So whoever has land that he does not need, let him give it to his brother (to cultivate it) or let him leave it. And he has forbidden to you Al-Muzabanah. Al-Muzabanah means when a man has a great number of datepalms and says: Take it in return for (a certain number of) Wasqs of dried dates this year.'"

It was narrated that Mujahid said: "I took Tawus by the hand and brought him to Ibn Rafi' bin Khadij, and he told him, narrating from his father, that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) forbade leasing land. Tawus rejected that and said: 'I heard Ibn 'Abbas (say) that he did not see anything wrong with that.'"

(The previously mentioned chain) from Mujahid who said: "Rafi' bin Khadij said: 'The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) forbade us to do something that was beneficial for us, (but we respect and obey the command of the Messenger of Allah). He forbade us to lease land in return for some of its produce."

It was narrated that Rafi' bin Khadij said: "The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) forbade Al-Haql (renting land in return for one-third or one-quarter of the produce)."

Rafi' bin Khadij said: "The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came out to us and forbade something for us that had been beneficial for us. He said: 'Whoever has land, let him cultivate it or give it to someone else (to cultivate), or leave it.'"

It was narrated from Tawus and Mujahid, that Rafi' bin Khadij said: "The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came out to us and forbade something for us that had been beneficial for us, but the command of Messenger of Allah is better for us. He said: 'Whoever has land, let him cultivate it or leave it or give it (to someone else to cultivate).'"

It was narrated that 'Amr bin Dinar said: "Tawus regarded it disliked renting out land for gold and silver, but he did not see anything wrong with leasing it in return for one-third or one-quarter (of the yield). Mujahid said to him: 'Go to Ibn Rafi' bin Khadij and listen to his Hadith.' He said: 'By Allah, if I knew that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) had forbidden that I would not have done it. But my Hadith comes from one who is more knowledgeable than him. Ibn 'Abbas (said) that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "If one of you were to give his land to his brother (to cultivate it), that would be better than taking an agreed portion of the yield."'"

It was narrated that Jabir said: "Some people had some extra land which they leased out in return for half of the yield, or one-third, or one-quarter. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'Whoever has land, let him cultivate it, or give it to his brother to cultivate or keep it (without cultivating it).'"

It was narrated from Jabir that the Prophet (ﷺ) forbade Al-Mukhabarah, Al-Muzabanah and Al-Muhaqalah, and selling fruit until it is fit to eat (ripe enough), except in the case of Al-'Araya.

It was narrated from Jabir bin 'Abdullah that the Prophet (ﷺ) forbade Al-Muzabanah and Al-Mukhadarah. He (one of the narrators) said: "Al-Mukhadarah means selling fruit before it ripens and Al-Mukhabarah means selling grapes in return for a certain number of Sa's."

It was narrated that Abu Ja'far Al-Khatmi - whose name was 'Umair bin Yazid - said: "My paternal uncle sent me with a slave of his, to Sa'eed bin Al-Musayyab to ask him about Al-Muzara'ah. He said: 'Ibn 'Umar did not see anything wrong with it, until he heard the Hadith from Rafi' bin Khadij. Then he met him, and Rafi' said: "The Prophet (ﷺ) came to Banu Harithah and saw some crops. He said: 'How good are the crops of Zubair.' They said: 'It is not Zubair's.' He said: 'Is the land not Zubair's?' They said: 'No (it is not his), rather he is leasing it.' The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'Take your crops and give him what he spent.' So we took our crops, and gave him what he had spent."
