“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

When I mentioned it (i.e. the narration of Rafiʿ 'bin Khadij: no. 532) to Tawus, he said, "It is permissible to rent the land for cultivation, for Ibn ʿAbbas said, 'The Prophet ﷺ did not forbid that, but said: One had better give the land to one's brother gratis rather than charge a certain amount for it.' "
ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ ؓ إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ لَمْ يَنْهَ عَنْهُ وَلَكِنْ قَالَ أَنْ يَمْنَحَ أَحَدُكُمْ أَخَاهُ خَيْرٌ لَهُ مِنْ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ شَيْئًا مَعْلُومًا
If one among you lets out land to his brother, that is better for him than if he receives such and such (the definite thing). Ibn 'Abbis (Allah be pleased with them) said: It is Haql, and in the parlance of the Ansr it is Muhaqala.
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ لأَنْ يَمْنَحَ أَحَدُكُمْ أَخَاهُ أَرْضَهُ خَيْرٌ لَهُ مِنْ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ عَلَيْهَا كَذَا وَكَذَا لِشَىْءٍ مَعْلُومٍ قَالَ وَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ هُوَ الْحَقْلُ وَهُوَ بِلِسَانِ الأَنْصَارِ الْمُحَاقَلَةُ
“For one of you to give (land) to his brother is better for him than if he were to take a set amount in rent for it.”
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لأَنْ يَمْنَحَ أَحَدُكُمْ أَخَاهُ الأَرْضَ خَيْرٌ لَهُ مِنْ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ لَهَا خَرَاجًا مَعْلُومًا
“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.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 2457)
لَأَنْ يَمْنَحَ أَحَدُكُمْ أَخَاهُ أَرْضَهُ خَيْرٌ لَهُ مِنْ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ عَلَيْهَا كَذَا وَكَذَا لِشَيْءٍ مَعْلُومٍ قَالَ قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ وَهُوَ الْحَقْلُ وَهُوَ بِلِسَانِ الْأَنْصَارِ الْمُحَاقَلَةُ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade it. Amr mentioned it to Tawus, who said, "Ibn Abbas said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: It is better for one of you to give his brother land as a gift than to take a known rent for it."
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ نَهَى عَنْهُ قَالَ عَمْرٌو ذَكَرْتُهُ لِطَاوُسٍ فَقَالَ طَاوُسٌ قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ إِنَّمَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَمْنَحُ أَحَدُكُمْ أَخَاهُ الْأَرْضَ خَيْرٌ لَهُ مِنْ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ لَهَا خَرَاجًا مَعْلُومًا
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "For one of you to give his brother his land as a gift is better for him than taking a specified reward."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لِأَنْ يَمْنَحَ أَحَدُكُمْ أَخَاهُ أَرْضَهُ خَيْرٌ لَهُ مِنْ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ أَجْرًا مَعْلُومًا»
