[Machine] About the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ in relation to farming, it was reported that one of them used to insist on three measures of water, "al-Qusarah" (a water irrigation method), and what the spring water irrigated. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ forbade that. The scholar said, "Whoever claims that the reports in which the prohibition is mentioned regarding renting for half, a third, or a quarter, is only for the conditions that were attached to it that are incorrect. Some narrators have omitted mentioning them, but others have mentioned them. The prohibition is specifically related to those conditions, and Allah knows best."
