He who has surplus of land should either cultivate it himself, or let his brother cultivate it, an should not sell it. I (the narrator) said to Sa'id: What does his statement" do not sell it" mean? Does it imply" rent"? He said: Yes.
سَمِعْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ كَانَ لَهُ فَضْلُ أَرْضٍ فَلْيَزْرَعْهَا أَوْ لِيُزْرِعْهَا أَخَاهُ وَلاَ تَبِيعُوهَا فَقُلْتُ لِسَعِيدٍ مَا قَوْلُهُ وَلاَ تَبِيعُوهَا يَعْنِي الْكِرَاءَ قَالَ نَعَمْ
"Whoever has land, let him cultivate it or give it to his brother to cultivate, and not lease it to his brother."
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ أَرْضٌ فَلْيَزْرَعْهَا أَوْ لِيُزْرِعْهَا أَخَاهُ وَلاَ يُكْرِيهَا أَخَاهُ وَقَدْ رَوَى النَّهْىَ عَنِ الْمُحَاقَلَةِ يَزِيدُ بْنُ نُعَيْمٍ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever has land or water, let them cultivate it themselves or let their brother cultivate it. And do not sell it." So I asked Sa'id, "Is renting allowed?" He said, "Yes."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ كَانَ لَهُ فَضْلُ أَرْضٍ أَوْ مَاءٍ فَلْيَزْرَعْهَا أَوْ لِيُزْرِعْهَا أَخَاهُ وَلَا تَبِيعُوهَا فَسَأَلْتُ سَعِيدًا مَا لَا تَبِيعُوهَا الْكِرَاءُ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ
[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Whoever possesses land should cultivate it or let his brother cultivate it, and should not sell it.' So I asked Sa'id, 'Does this mean renting it out?' He replied, 'Yes.'"
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ كَانَ لَهُ فَضْلُ أَرْضٍ فَلْيَزْرَعْهَا أَوْ لِيُزْرِعْهَا أَخَاهُ وَلَا تَبِيعُوهَا فَقُلْتُ لِسَعِيدٍ مَا قَوْلُهُ لَا تَبِيعُوهَا يَعْنِي الْكِرَاءَ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ
