By Allah, I am certain that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade that. (Using translation from Aḥmad 101)
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ نَهَى عَنْهُ فَتَرَكْنَاهُ
"I heard the Messenger of Allah say: 'The hand is not to be cut off for (stealing) produce or the spadix of palm trees."' (Using translation from Nasāʾī 4960)
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لَا قَطْعَ فِي ثَمَرٍ وَلَا كَثَرٍ
[Machine] I passed by a mosque in the city and the prayer was being held. Then, an old man raised his voice, and said, "Don't you know that my father informed me that the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , used to delay this prayer?" I asked, "Who is this old man?" They said, "This is Abdullah bin Rafi bin Khadijah."
مَرَرْتُ بِمَسْجِدٍ بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَأُقِيمَتِ الصَّلَاةُ فَإِذَا شَيْخٌ فَلَامَ الْمُؤَذِّنَ وَقَالَ أَمَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ أَبِي أَخْبَرَنِي أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَأْمُرُ بِتَأْخِيرِ هَذِهِ الصَّلَاةِ قَالَ قُلْتُ مَنْ هَذَا الشَّيْخُ؟ قَالُوا هَذَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ
Messenger of Allah, we are going to encounter the enemy tomorrow, but we have no knives with us. Thereupon Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Make haste or be careful (in making arrangements for procuring knives) which would let the blood flow (and along with it) the name of Allah is also to be recited. Then eat, but not the tooth or nail. And I am going to tell you why it is not permissible to slaughter the animal with the help of tooth and bone; and as for the nail. it is a bone, and the bone is the knife of Abyssinians. He (the narrator) said: There fell to our lot as spoils of war camels and goats, and one of the camels among them became wild. A person (amongst usl struck It with an arrow which brought it under control. whereupon Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: This camel became wild like wild animals, so if you find any animal getting wild, you do the same with that (Using translation from Muslim 1968a)
قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّا لَاقُو الْعَدُوِّ غَدًا وَلَيْسَ مَعَنَا مُدًى؟ قَالَ مَا أَنْهَرَ الدَّمَ وَذُكِرَ عَلَيْهِ اسْمُ اللهِ فَكُلْ لَيْسَ السِّنَّ وَالظُّفُرَ وَسَأُحَدِّثُكَ أَمَّا السِّنُّ فَعَظْمٌ وَأَمَّا الظُّفُرُ فَمُدَى الْحَبَشَةِ قَالَ وَأَصَابَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ نَهْبًا فَنَدَّ مِنْهَا بَعِيرٌ فَسَعَوْا لَهُ فَلَمْ يَسْتَطِيعُوا فَرَمَاهُ رَجُلٌ بِسَهْمٍ فَحَبَسَهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ لِهَذِهِ الْإِبِلِ أَوْ قَالَ لِهَذِهِ النَّعَمِ أَوَابِدَ كَأَوَابِدِ الْوَحْشِ فَمَا غَلَبَكُمْ فَاصْنَعُوا بِهِ هَكَذَا
[Machine] Rafi' ibn Khadeej narrated to them that they went out with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on a journey. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stopped for lunch, he said that every man should tie the reins of his camel, then we sent them to graze in the tree area. Then we sat with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He said, "Our provision is on our shoulders." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ raised his head and saw bags with red threads. He said, "Don't you see that these bags have become a burden for you?" So, we quickly followed the words of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ until some of our camels scattered, and then we took the bags and removed the threads from them.
أَنَّ رَافِعَ بْنَ خَدِيجٍ حَدَّثَهُمْ أَنَّهُمْ خَرَجُوا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي سَفَرٍ قَالَ فَلَمَّا نَزَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لِلْغَدَاءِ قَالَ عَلَّقَ كُلُّ رَجُلٍ بِخِطَامِ نَاقَتِهِ ثُمَّ أَرْسَلْنَاهُنَّ فِي الشَّجَرِ قَالَ ثُمَّ جَلَسْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ وَرِحَالُنَا عَلَى أَبَاعِرِنَا قَالَ فَرَفَعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ رَأْسَهُ فَرَأَى أَكْسِيَةً لَنَا فِيهَا خُيُوطٌ مِنْ عِهْنٍأَحْمَرَ قَالَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَلَا أَرَى هَذِهِ الْحُمْرَةَ قَدْ عَلَتْكُمْ قَالَ فَقُمْنَا سِرَاعًا لِقَوْلِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى نَفَرَ بَعْضُ إِبِلِنَا فَأَخَذْنَا الْأَكْسِيَةَ فَنَزَعْنَاهَا مِنْهَا
"Rafi' bin Khadij said: 'The Messenger of Allah has forbidden something for you that used to be beneficial for us, but obedience to the Messenger of Allah is more beneficial for us. He said: "Whoever has land let him cultivate it, and if he is unable to do so, let him give it to his brother to cultivate."'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3866)
قَالَقَالَ رَافِعُ بْنُ خَدِيجٍ نَهَانَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنْ أَمْرٍ كَانَ لَنَا نَافِعًا وَطَاعَةُ اللهِ وَطَاعَةُ رَسُولِهِ أَنْفَعُ لَنَا قَالَ مَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ أَرْضٌ فَلْيَزْرَعْهَا فَإِنْ عَجَزَ عَنْهَا فَلْيُزْرِعْهَا أَخَاهُ
[Machine] "People used to rent farms during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and they would water them with irrigation canals and a little bit of straw. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ disliked the practice of renting farms in this manner and prohibited it. Rafi' said: There is no harm in renting them for dirhams and dinars."
أَنَّ النَّاسَ كَانُوا يُكْرُونَ الْمَزَارِعَ فِي زَمَانِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بِالْمَاذِيَانَاتِ وَمَا سَقَى الرَّبِيعُ وَشَيْءٍ مِنَ التِّبْنِ فَكَرِهَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ كِرَى الْمَزَارِعِ بِهَذَا وَنَهَى عَنْهَا قَالَ رَافِعٌ لَا بَأْسَ بِكِرَائِهَا بِالدَّرَاهِمِ وَالدَّنَانِيرِ
I heard Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: The fever is due to the intense heat of the Hell, so cool it with water. (Using translation from Muslim 2212a)
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِنَّ الْحُمَّى فَوْرٌ من فَوْرِ جَهَنَّمَ فَابْرُدُوهَا بِالْمَاءِ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prohibited from dividing land into thirds and quarters. When Ibrahim heard this, he disliked dividing land into thirds and quarters and did not see any harm in acquiring white land with money.
نَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنِ الْحَقْلِ قَالَ قُلْتُ وَمَا الْحَقْلُ؟ قَالَ الثُّلُثُ وَالرُّبُعُ فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ ذَلِكَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ كَرِهَ الثُّلُثَ وَالرُّبُعَ وَلَمْ يَرَ بَأْسًا بِالْأَرْضِ الْبَيْضَاءِ يَأْخُذُهَا بِالدَّرَاهِمِ
The Prophet ﷺ said: The earnings of a cupper are impure, the price paid for a dog is impure, and the hire paid to a prostitute is impure. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3421)
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ كَسْبُ الْحَجَّامِ خَبِيثٌ وَمَهْرُ الْبَغِيِّ خَبِيثٌ وَثَمَنُ الْكَلْبِ خَبِيثٌ
[Machine] He said, "O Messenger of Allah, we will meet the enemy tomorrow and we do not have a spear." He said, "What is forbidding from drinking its blood and mentioning the name of Allah over it? So eat, for its teeth and nails are not it. And I will tell you about its teeth, they are bones, and about its nails, they are like the hooves of a horse." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ acquired spoils, and a camel from it was taken away, so they pursued it but could not catch it. Then a man from the people shot an arrow at it and hit it, so he restrained it. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, for these camels or sheep there are offspring like the offspring of wild animals. So when something defeats you from it, do this." He said, "The Prophet ﷺ used to allocate ten from the spoils to the she-camel." Shu'bah said, "And my most knowledgeable opinion is that I have heard this wording from Sa'id and he used to allocate ten from the spoils to the she-camel. And Sufyan narrated from him, and Muhammad and I have heard this wording from Sufyan."
أَنَّهُ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّا لَاقُو الْعَدُوِّ غَدًا وَلَيْسَ مَعَنَا مُدًى قَالَ مَا أَنْهَرَ الدَّمَ وَذُكِرَ اسْمُ اللهِ عَلَيْهِ فَكُلْ لَيْسَ السِّنَّ وَالظُّفُرَ وَسَأُحَدِّثُكَ أَمَّا السِّنُّ فَعَظْمٌ وَأَمَّا الظُّفُرُ فَمُدَى الْحَبَشَةِ وَأَصَابَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ نَهْبًا فَنَدَّ بَعِيرٌ مِنْهَا فَسَعَوْا فَلَمْ يَسْتَطِيعُوهُ فَرَمَاهُ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ بِسَهْمٍ فَحَبَسَهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ لِهَذِهِ الْإِبِلِ أَوِ النَّعَمِ أَوَابِدَ كَأَوَابِدِ الْوَحْشِ فَإِذَا غَلَبَكُمْ شَيْءٌ مِنْهَا فَاصْنَعُوا بِهِ هَكَذَا قَالَ وَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَجْعَلُ فِي قَسْمِ الْغَنَائِمِ عَشْرًا مِنَ الشَّاءِبِبَعِيرٍ قَالَ شُعْبَةُ وَأَكْثَرُ عِلْمِي أَنِّي قَدْ سَمِعْتُ مِنْ سَعِيدٍ هَذَا الْحَرْفَ وَجَعَلَ عَشْرًا مِنَ الشَّاءِ بِبَعِيرٍ وَقَدْ حَدَّثَنِي سُفْيَانُ عَنْهُ قَالَ مُحَمَّدٌ وَقَدْ سَمِعْتُ مِنْ سُفْيَانَ هَذَا الْحَرْفَ
[Machine] A boy stole some young palm trees belonging to Nu'man al-Ansari, and they were taken to Marwan. He wanted to cut them, but Rafa' bin Khadeejah said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said that the fruit and dense tree foliage should not be cut." I asked Yahya, "What does dense foliage mean?" He said, "It means the branches."
سَرَقَ غُلَامٌ لِنُعْمَانَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ نَخْلًا صِغَارًا فَرُفِعَ إِلَى مَرْوَانَ فَأَرَادَ أَنْ يَقْطَعَهُ فَقَالَ رَافِعُ بْنُ خَدِيجٍ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا يُقْطَعُ فِي الثَّمَرِ وَلَا فِي الْكَثَرِ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِيَحْيَى مَا الْكَثَرُ؟ قَالَ الْجُمَّارُ
"Rafi' bin Khadij came to us and said: 'The Messenger of Allah has forbidden something that was beneficial for us, but obedience to the Messenger of Allah 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.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3864)
إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَنْهَاكُمْ عَنْ أَمْرٍ كَانَ لَكُمْ نَافِعًا وَطَاعَةُ اللهِ وَطَاعَةُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْفَعُ لَكُمْ إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ يَنْهَاكُمْعَنِ الْحَقْلِ وَيَقُولُ مَنْ اسْتَغْنَى عَنْ أَرْضِهِ فَلْيَمْنَحْهَا أَخَاهُ أَوْ لِيَدَعْ وَيَنْهَاكُمْ عَنِ الْمُزَابَنَةِ وَالْمُزَابَنَةُ أَنْ يَكُونَ الرَّجُلُ لَهُ الْمَالُ الْعَظِيمُ مِنَ النَّخْلِ فَيَأْتِيهِ الرَّجُلُ فَيَقُولُ قَدْ أَخَذْتُهُ بِكَذَا وَكَذَا وَسْقًا مِنْ تَمْرٍ
[Machine] "And he said that he requires three pieces of wood, and the length should be short. And what is considered "short" is what has fallen from the stalk."
وَقَالَ يَشْتَرِطُ ثَلَاثَ جَدَاوِلَ وَالْقُصَارَةُوَالْقُصَارَةُ مَا سَقَطَ مِنَ السُّنْبُلِ
"Rafi' bin Khadij came to us and said: 'The Messenger of Allah has forbidden something that was beneficial for us, but obedience to the Messenger of Allah 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.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3864)
نَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنْ أَمْرٍ كَانَ لَكُمْ نَافِعًا وَطَاعَةُ اللهِ وَطَاعَةُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ خَيْرٌ لَكُمْ نَهَاكُمْ عَنِ الْحَقْلِ وَقَالَ مَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ أَرْضٌ فَلْيَمْنَحْهَا أَوْ لِيَدَعْهَا وَنَهَانَا عَنِ الْمُزَابَنَةِ وَالْمُزَابَنَةُ الرَّجُلُ يَكُونُ لَهُ الْمَالُ الْعَظِيمُ مِنَ النَّخْلِ فَيَجِيءُ الرَّجُلُ فَيَأْخُذُهَا بِكَذَا وَكَذَا وَسْقًا مِنْ تَمْرٍ
[Machine] About the Prophet ﷺ , Ibn Umar went to him and asked him. He informed him that the Prophet ﷺ had prohibited renting farmlands. So Abdullah left his rented farmland. Ibn Numair mentioned in his narration that Ibn Umar went to him, and I went with him. Muhammad bin Ubaid also informed us. Then Ibn Umar went, and I went with him.
عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَخَرَجَ إِلَيْهِ ابْنُ عُمَرَ إِلَى الْبَلَاطِ فَسَأَلَهُ فَأَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ نَهَى عَنْ كِرَاءِ الْمَزَارِعِ فَتَرَكَ عَبْدُ اللهِ كِرَاءَهَاقَالَ ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ فِي حَدِيثِهِ فَذَهَبَ إِلَيْهِ ابْنُ عُمَرَ وَذَهَبْتُ مَعَهُ وحَدَّثَنَاهُ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ أَيْضًا قَالَ فَذَهَبَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ وَذَهَبْتُ مَعَهُ
The Prophet said: "Pray the Subh early, for indeed its reward is greater" or "your reward." (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 672)
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ يَزِيدُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ أَصْبِحُوا بِالصُّبْحِ فَإِنَّهُ أَعْظَمُ لِلْأَجْرِ أَوْ لِأَجْرِهَا
"Jibril or an angel came to the Prophet and said: 'How do you regard those among you who were present at Badr?' He said: 'They are the best among us.' He said: 'We think the same (of the angels who were present at Badr), they are the best of the angels.'" (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 160)
إِنَّ جِبْرِيلَ أَوْ مَلَكًا جَاءَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ مَا تَعُدُّونَ مَنْ شَهِدَ بَدْرًا فِيكُمْ؟ قَالُوا خِيَارُنَا قَالَ كَذَلِكَ هُمْ عِنْدَنَا خِيَارُنَا مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever cultivates land without the permission of its owners, then its produce belongs to the owner." Abu Kamil further said in his narration, "And he will have no share of the cultivation."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ زَرَعَ أَرْضًا بِغَيْرِ إِذْنِ أَهْلِهَا فَلَهُ نَفَقَتُهُ قَالَ أَبُو كَامِلٍ فِي حَدِيثِهِ وَلَيْسَ لَهُ مِنَ الزَّرْعِ شَيْءٌ
AbuRafi' came to us from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade us from a work which benefited us; but obedience to Allah and His Apostle ﷺ is more beneficial to us. He forbade that one of us cultivates land except the one which he owns or the land which a man lends him (to cultivate). (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3397)
جَاءَنَا مِنْ عِنْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْيَوْمَ عَنْ أَمْرٍ كَانَ يَرْفُقُ بِنَا وَطَاعَةُ اللهِ وَطَاعَةُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَرْفَقُ بِنَا نَهَانَا أَنْ نَزْرَعَ أَرْضًا إِلَّا أَرْضًا يَمْلِكُ أَحَدُنَا رَقَبَتَهَا أَوْ مِنْحَةَ رَجُلٍ
"At the time of the Messenger of Allah we used to lease land on the basis of Al-Muhaqalah, so we would lease it in return for one-third or one-quarter of the yield, or a specified amount of food (produce). One day, a man among my paternal uncles came and said 'The Messenger of Allah has forbidden me to do something that was beneficial for us, but obedience to Allah and His Messenger is more beneficial for us. He has forbidden us to lease land on the basis of Al-Muhaqalah and to lease it in return for one-third or one-quarter of the yield, and for a specified amount of food (produce). And he commanded the landowner to cultivate it (himself) or to give it to someone else to cultivate. He did not like leasing it or anything else.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3895)
كُنَّا نُحَاقِلُ بِالْأَرْضِ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَنُكْرِيهَا عَلَى الثُّلُثِ وَالرُّبُعِ وَالطَّعَامِ الْمُسَمَّى فَجَاءَنَا ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ رَجُلٌ مِنْ عُمُومَتِي فَقَالَ نَهَانَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنْ أَمْرٍ كَانَ لَنَا نَافِعًا وَطَاعَةُ اللهِ وَرَسُولِهِ أَنْفَعُ لَنَا نَهَانَا أَنْ نُحَاقِلَ بِالْأَرْضِ فَنُكْرِيَهَا عَلَى الثُّلُثِ وَالرُّبُعِ وَالطَّعَامِ الْمُسَمَّى وَأَمَرَرَبَّ الْأَرْضِ أَنْ يَزْرَعَهَا أَوْ يُزْرِعَهَا وَكَرِهَ كِرَاءَهَا وَمَا سِوَى ذَلِكَ
By Allah, I am certain that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade that. (Using translation from Aḥmad 101)
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ نَهَى عَنْهُ
[Machine] About renting land, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Rafi' narrated that I heard my uncle who participated in the Battle of Badr, informing the people of the house that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prohibited renting land."
عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي كِرَاءِ الْأَرْضِ؟ قَالَ رَافِعٌ لَقَدْ سَمِعْتُ عَمَّيَّ وَكَانَا قَدْ شَهِدَا بَدْرًا يُحَدِّثَانِ أَهْلَ الدَّارِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ نَهَى عَنْ كِرَاءِ الْأَرْضِ
I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: The official who collects sadaqah (zakat) in a just manner is like him who fights in Allah's path till he returns home. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2936)
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ الْعَامِلُ فِي الصَّدَقَةِ بِالْحَقِّ لِوَجْهِ اللهِ ﷻ كَالْغَازِي فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ حَتَّى يَرْجِعَ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ
The Prophet ﷺ said: The earnings of a cupper are impure, the price paid for a dog is impure, and the hire paid to a prostitute is impure. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3421)
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ كَسْبُ الْحَجَّامِ خَبِيثٌ وَمَهْرُ الْبَغِيِّ خَبِيثٌ وَثَمَنُ الْكَلْبِ خَبِيثٌ
‘The cupper and the one for whom cupping is done both break their fast.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1679)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَفْطَرَ الْحَاجِمُ وَالْمَحْجُومُ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prohibited the field. Al-Hakam said, "The field is the third and the quarter."
نَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنِ الْحَقْلِ قَالَ الْحَكَمُ وَالْحَقْلُ الثُّلُثُ وَالرُّبُعُ
