We used to lease land for what grew by the streamlets and for what was watered from them. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade us to do that, and commanded us to lease if for gold or silver. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3391)
كُنَّا نُكْرِي الْأَرْضَ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بِمَا عَلَى السَّوَاقِي مِنَ الزَّرْعِ وَبِمَا سَعِدَ بِالْمَاءِ مِنْهَا فَنَهَانَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنْ ذَلِكَ وَأَذِنَ لَنَا أَوْ رَخَّصَ بِأَنْ نُكْرِيَهَا بِالذَّهَبِ وَالْوَرِقِ
