[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to the tribe of Harithah and saw a crop in the land of Dhu Hayr. He said, "What a beautiful crop in Dhu Hayr!" They replied, "It does not belong to Dhu Hayr." He asked, "Is it not the land of Dhu Hayr?" They said, "Yes, but it belongs to so-and-so." He said, "Take your crop and give him back his expenses." Rafi' said, "So we took our crop and returned his expenses to him." Sa'id said, "Make your brother poor or pay him an exorbitant amount of money clearly seen in these reports." These hadiths indicate that the crop follows the land, and the scholars of jurisprudence agree that the crop follows the planting. If these hadiths were valid, no one would have any argument against them except that the first hadith is only narrated by Shurayk bin Abdullah and Qays bin Ar-Rabi', and Qays bin Ar-Rabi' is weak according to the scholars of hadith. And Shurayk bin Abdullah has differences in narration. Yahya bin Sa'id Al-Qattan does not narrate from him and weakens his hadiths greatly, and he is also mursal. Ash-Shafi'i said in his book Al-Buwatyya that the hadith is disconnected because Rafa'a did not receive the report directly from Ata.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَتَى بَنِي حَارِثَةَ فَرَأَى زَرْعًا فِي أَرْضِ ظُهَيْرٍ فَقَالَ مَا أَحْسَنَ زَرْعَ ظُهَيْرٍ فَقَالُوا لَيْسَ لِظُهَيْرٍ قَالَ أَلَيْسَ أَرْضَ ظُهَيْرٍ؟ قَالُوا بَلَى وَلَكِنَّهُ زَرْعُ فُلَانٍ قَالَ فَخُذُوا زَرْعَكُمْ وَرُدُّوا عَلَيْهِ النَّفَقَةَ قَالَ رَافِعٌ فَأَخَذْنَا زَرْعَنَا وَرَدَدْنَا إِلَيْهِ النَّفَقَةَ قَالَ سَعِيدٌ أَفْقِرْ أَخَاكَ أَوْ أَكِرْهُ بِالدَّرَاهِمِ ظَاهِرُ هَذِهِ الْأَحَادِيثِ يَدُلُّ عَلَى أَنَّ الزَّرْعَ يَتْبَعُ الْأَرْضَ وَفُقَهَاءُ الْأَمْصَارِ عَلَى أَنَّ الزَّرْعَ يَتْبَعُ الْبَذْرَ وَلَوْ ثَبَتَ هَذِهِ الْأَحَادِيثُ لَمْ يَكُنْ لِأَحَدٍ فِي خِلَافِهَا حُجَّةٌ إِلَّا أَنَّ الْحَدِيثَ الْأَوَّلَ يَنْفَرِدُ بِهِ شَرِيكُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ وَقَيْسُ بْنُ الرَّبِيعِ وَقَيْسُ بْنُ الرَّبِيعِ ضَعِيفٌ عِنْدَ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ بِالْحَدِيثِ وَشَرِيكُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ مُخْتَلَفٌ فِيهِ كَانَ يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْقَطَّانُ لَا يَرْوِي عَنْهُ وَيُضَعِّفُ حَدِيثَهُ جِدًّا ثُمَّ هُوَ مُرْسَلٌ قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ فِي كِتَابِ الْبُوَيْطِيِّ الْحَدِيثُ مُنْقَطِعٌ؛ لِأَنَّهُ لَمْ يَلْقَ عَطَاءً رَافِعًا
