وَعَنْ ثَابِتِ بْنِ اَلضَّحَّاكِ - رضى الله عنه - { أَنَّ رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ - صلى الله عليه وسلم -نَهَى عَنْ اَلْمُزَارَعَةِ 1 بِالْمُؤَاجَرَةِ } رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ أَيْضًا 2 .1 - سقط من " أ " ولكنها ثابتة في " الأصل "، و " صحيح مسلم ".2 - صحيح. رواه مسلم ( 1549 ) ( 119 ).
Narrated Narrated Thabit bin Dahhak (RA):
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) forbade al-Muzara'ah (employing people on land for a share of the produce), and ordered al-Mu'ajara (renting it out for cash).
I asked Rafi' bin Khadij (RA) about renting land for gold and silver and he replied, "There is no harm in that, as the people used to rent land in the time of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) for what grew by the river-beds, and the edges of the brooks/streams, or for a portion of the crop. However, sometimes this portion of the crop would be destroyed while the other is saved, or vice-versa. Thus, there would be no wages to pay the people (the owners of the land) except for the portion which produced a crop." For this reason, he warned against this (practice). However, if it is (rented) for something known and guaranteed, then there is no harm in it.
. This narration contains a clarification of what was mentioned in general terms in the previous narration of al-Bukhari and Muslim, regarding the general prohibition of renting out land.
وَلِمُسْلِمٍ: { أَنَّ رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ - صلى الله عليه وسلم -دَفَعَ إِلَى يَهُودِ خَيْبَرَ نَخْلَ خَيْبَرَ وَأَرْضَهَا عَلَى أَنْ يَعْتَمِلُوهَا مِنْ أَمْوَالِهِمْ, وَلَهُ شَطْرُ ثَمَرِهَا } 1 .1 - صحيح. رواه مسلم ( 1551 ) ( 5 ) ووقع في " أ ": " ولهم " بدل: " وله ". وعند مسلم: " ولرسول الله -صلى الله عليه وسلم- شطر ثمرها ". وأيضا البخاري ( 2331 ) بنحوه.
Narrated Muslim has:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) handed over to the Jews of Khaibar, the palm-trees and the land of Khaibar, on condition that they should employ their own resources in working on it and keep half of its produce.
