٣٧۔٢٢ باب إِذَا اسْتَأْجَرَ أَرْضًا فَمَاتَ أَحَدُهُمَا

[Machine] Ibn Seerin said that it is not for one's family to expel him until the end of his term. Al-Hakam, Al-Hasan, and Iyas ibn Muawiya said that the lease is valid until its term expires. Ibn 'Umar said that the Prophet ﷺ gave Khaibar as a lease for half of its yield. This occurred during the time of the Prophet ﷺ, Abu Bakr, and a period of Umar's caliphate, and it is not mentioned that Abu Bakr and Umar renewed the lease after the death of the Prophet ﷺ.

وَقَالَ ابْنُ سِيرِينَ لَيْسَ لأَهْلِهِ أَنْ يُخْرِجُوهُ إِلَى تَمَامِ الأَجَلِ. وَقَالَ الْحَكَمُ وَالْحَسَنُ وَإِيَاسُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ تُمْضَى الإِجَارَةُ إِلَى أَجَلِهَا. وَقَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ أَعْطَى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ خَيْبَرَ بِالشَّطْرِ، فَكَانَ ذَلِكَ عَلَى عَهْدِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَأَبِي بَكْرٍ وَصَدْرًا مِنْ خِلاَفَةِ عُمَرَ، وَلَمْ يُذْكَرْ أَنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ جَدَّدَا الإِجَارَةَ بَعْدَ مَا قُبِضَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ.

"Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave the land of Khaibar to the Jews to work on and cultivate and take half of its yield. Ibn ʿUmar added, "The land used to be rented for a certain portion (of its yield)." Nafiʿ mentioned the amount of the portion but I forgot it. Rafiʿ bin Khadij said, "The Prophet ﷺ forbade renting farms." Narrated 'Ubaidullah Nafiʿ said: Ibn ʿUmar said: (The contract of Khaibar continued) till ʿUmar evacuated the Jews (from Khaibar).  

البخاري:٢٢٨٥حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ حَدَّثَنَا جُوَيْرِيَةُ بْنُ أَسْمَاءَ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ؓ قَالَ

أَعْطَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ خَيْبَرَ أَنْ يَعْمَلُوهَا وَيَزْرَعُوهَا وَلَهُمْ شَطْرُ مَا يَخْرُجُ مِنْهَا وَأَنَّ ابْنَ عُمَرَ حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّ الْمَزَارِعَ كَانَتْ تُكْرَى عَلَى شَىْءٍ سَمَّاهُ نَافِعٌ لاَ أَحْفَظُهُ وَأَنَّ رَافِعَ بْنَ خَدِيجٍ حَدَّثَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ نَهَى عَنْ كِرَاءِ الْمَزَارِعِ وَقَالَ عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ حَتَّى أَجْلاَهُمْ عُمَرُ
