We used to get land (on rent) during the lifetime of Allah's Messeuge, ﷺ with a share of one-third or one-fourth (of the produce from the land irrigated) with the help of canals. Thereupon Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up (to address) and said: HRe who has land should cultivate it, and if he does not cultivate it, he should lend it to his brother, and if he does not lend it to his brother, he should then retain it.  

مسلم:١٥٣٦tحَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ وَأَحْمَدُ بْنُ عِيسَى جَمِيعًا عَنِ ابْنِ وَهْبٍ قَالَ ابْنُ عِيسَى حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ حَدَّثَنِي هِشَامُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ أَنَّ أَبَا الزُّبَيْرِ الْمَكِّيَّ حَدَّثَهُ

قَالَ سَمِعْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ كُنَّا فِي زَمَانِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ نَأْخُذُ الأَرْضَ بِالثُّلُثِ أَوِ الرُّبُعِ بِالْمَاذِيَانَاتِ فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ مَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ أَرْضٌ فَلْيَزْرَعْهَا فَإِنْ لَمْ يَزْرَعْهَا فَلْيَمْنَحْهَا أَخَاهُ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَمْنَحْهَا أَخَاهُ فَلْيُمْسِكْهَا
