bayhaqi:11741Abū Saʿīd b. Abū ʿAmr > Abū Muḥammad al-Muzanī > ʿAlī b. Muḥammad b. ʿĪsá > Abū al-Yamān > Shuʿayb > al-Zuhrī

[Machine] That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade the leasing of land. Therefore, this is from the hadith of Rafa'ah ibn Khadij. Abdullah ibn Umar used to leave the leasing of his land and did not lease it for gold or silver or anything. He took that from the fatwa of Rafa'ah. Some people followed it while others abandoned it. As for the transaction on a divided or two-thirds basis or whatever is agreed upon, we have received that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ treated the Jews of Khaybar in that manner when Allah granted victory to the Muslims over them. That was the best type of land and the most permissible. The sheikh said, "Whoever says that the first explanation is sufficient, has answered this and claims that what is confirmed from the Prophet ﷺ is not a proof compared to anyone else's statement. The hadith of Rafa'ah is an established hadith and it contains evidence of his prohibition of transacting on the condition that it includes some of what emerges from it except that it applies to some of its generality at one time and then abrogated it at another time and then scrutinized it in one narration and shortened it in another and followed it in his narration Jabir ibn Abdullah and others as we mentioned it earlier. And the hadith of the transaction on a divided basis of what emerges from Khaybar from its fruits or crops is also a reliable narration when the cultivation is done between the trunks of palm trees. And in that is the combination of the reports that mention it. And with Allah is success, and Allah knows best.
