abudawud:3402Hārūn b. ʿAbdullāh > al-Faḍl b. Dukayn > Bukayr / Ibn ʿĀmir > Ibn Abū Nuʿm > Rāfiʿ b. Khadīj

Rafi' had cultivated a land. The Prophet ﷺ passed him when he was watering it. So he asked him: To whom does the crop belong, and to whom does the land belong? He replied: The crop is mine for my seed and labour. The half (of the crop) is mine and the half for so-and-so. He said: You conducted usurious transaction. Return the land to its owner and take your wages and cost.  

أبو داود:٣٤٠٢حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ دُكَيْنٍ حَدَّثَنَا بُكَيْرٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ عَامِرٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نُعْمٍ حَدَّثَنِي رَافِعُ بْنُ خَدِيجٍ

أَنَّهُ زَرَعَ أَرْضًا فَمَرَّ بِهِ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَهُوَ يَسْقِيهَا فَسَأَلَهُ لِمَنِ الزَّرْعُ وَلِمَنِ الأَرْضُ فَقَالَ زَرْعِي بِبَذْرِي وَعَمَلِي لِيَ الشَّطْرُ وَلِبَنِي فُلاَنٍ الشَّطْرُ فَقَالَ أَرْبَيْتُمَا فَرُدَّ الأَرْضَ عَلَى أَهْلِهَا وَخُذْ نَفَقَتَكَ
