[Machine] "We used to lease land, paying a third or a quarter of its produce as rent and a named food item. On that day, there was neither gold nor silver that we would pay as rent for the land. So I did not realize the day when one of my relatives met me and said, 'The Messenger of Allah has prohibited us from a matter that used to benefit us.' And the obedience to the Messenger of Allah is more beneficial for us than what we used to lease land, paying a third or a quarter of its produce as rent and a named food item." And he prohibited us from that, and the Lord of the land commanded to cultivate it himself or to have it cultivated, and He disliked its leasing, and nothing else besides that.
