“Subhan-Allah, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Why does not one of you lend it to his brother?' But he did not forbid leasing it out.' ”  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَلاَ مَنَحَهَا أَحَدُكُمْ أَخَاهُ وَلَمْ يَنْهَ عَنْ كِرَائِهَا  

“If one of you were to lend his brother his land, it would be better for him than taking such and such rent for it.”  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لأَنْ يَمْنَحَ أَحَدُكُمْ أَخَاهُ أَرْضَهُ خَيْرٌ لَهُ مِنْ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ عَلَيْهَا كَذَا وَكَذَا لِشَىْءٍ مَعْلُومٍ وَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ هُوَ الْحَقْلُ وَهُوَ بِلِسَانِ الأَنْصَارِ الْمُحَاقَلَةُ  

“I asked Rafi' bin Khadij and he said: 'We used to lease out land on the basis that you would have what is produced by this piece of land, and I would have what is produced by this (other) piece of land, and we were forbidden to lease it out on the basis of crop-sharing but he did not forbid us to rent out land for silver.”  

أَنَّ لَكَ مَا أَخْرَجَتْ هَذِهِ وَلِي مَا أَخْرَجَتْ هَذِهِ فَنُهِينَا أَنْ نُكْرِيَهَا بِمَا أَخْرَجَتْ وَلَمْ نُنْهَ أَنْ نُكْرِيَ الأَرْضَ بِالْوَرِقِ
