[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Whoever possesses land should cultivate it or let his brother cultivate it, and should not sell it.' So I asked Sa'id, 'Does this mean renting it out?' He replied, 'Yes.'"  

البيهقي:١١٧٠٤وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحَسَنِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ دَاوُدَ الْعَلَوِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ أنبأ أَبُو حَامِدِ بْنُ الشَّرْقِيِّ ثنا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ ثنا أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْحَنَفِيُّ ثنا سُلَيْمُ بْنُ حَيَّانَ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ مِينَاءٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ كَانَ لَهُ فَضْلُ أَرْضٍ فَلْيَزْرَعْهَا أَوْ لِيُزْرِعْهَا أَخَاهُ وَلَا تَبِيعُوهَا فَقُلْتُ لِسَعِيدٍ مَا قَوْلُهُ لَا تَبِيعُوهَا يَعْنِي الْكِرَاءَ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ  

أَخْرَجَهُ مُسْلِمٌ فِي الصَّحِيحِ مِنْ وَجْهٍ آخَرَ عَنْ سُلَيْمِ بْنِ حَيَّانَ وَرَوَاهُ أَيْضًا أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ وَأَبُو سُفْيَانَ وَغَيْرُهُمَا عَنْ جَابِرٍ

He who has surplus of land should either cultivate it himself, or let his brother cultivate it, an should not sell it. I (the narrator) said to Sa'id: What does his statement" do not sell it" mean? Does it imply" rent"? He said: Yes.
