Ibn ʿUmar used to rent his farms in the time of Abu Bakr, ʿUmar, ʿUthman, and in the early days of Muawiya. Then he was told the narration of Rafiʿ 'bin Khadij that the Prophet ﷺ had forbidden the renting of farms. Ibn ʿUmar went to Rafiʿ and I accompanied him. He asked Rafiʿ who replied that the Prophet had forbidden the renting of farms. Ibn ʿUmar said, "You know that we used to rent our farms in the lifetime of Messenger of Allah ﷺ for the yield of the banks of the water streams (rivers) and for certain amount of figs.  

أَنَّ ابْنَ عُمَرَ ؓ كَانَ يُكْرِي مَزَارِعَهُ عَلَى عَهْدِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَأَبِي بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ وَعُثْمَانَ وَصَدْرًا مِنْ إِمَارَةِ مُعَاوِيَةَ ثُمَّ حُدِّثَ عَنْ رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ نَهَى عَنْ كِرَاءِ الْمَزَارِعِ فَذَهَبَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ إِلَى رَافِعٍ فَذَهَبْتُ مَعَهُ فَسَأَلَهُ فَقَالَ نَهَى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَنْ كِرَاءِ الْمَزَارِعِ فَقَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ قَدْ عَلِمْتَ أَنَّا كُنَّا نُكْرِي مَزَارِعَنَا عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِمَا عَلَى الأَرْبِعَاءِ وَبِشَىْءٍ مِنَ التِّبْنِ  

"The Messenger of Allah used to forbid leasing arable land." So Ibn 'Umar stopped (doing that) afterward. When he was asked about it he said: "Rafi' bin Khadij said that the Prophet forbade that."  

أَنَّ رَافِعَ بْنَ خَدِيجٍ يُخْبِرُ فِيهَا بِنَهْىِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَتَاهُ وَأَنَا مَعَهُ فَسَأَلَهُ فَقَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَنْهَى عَنْ كِرَاءِ الْمَزَارِعِ فَتَرَكَهَا ابْنُ عُمَرَ بَعْدُ فَكَانَ إِذَا سُئِلَ عَنْهَا قَالَ زَعَمَ رَافِعُ بْنُ خَدِيجٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ نَهَى عَنْهَا وَافَقَهُ عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ وَكَثِيرُ بْنُ فَرْقَدٍ وَجُوَيْرِيَةُ بْنُ أَسْمَاءَ  

[Machine] "The land used to be cultivated during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with barley and some straw, I do not know what it is. And Ibn Umar used to cultivate his land during the times of Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman, and the beginning of Mu'awiya's rule until he heard that Rasulullah ﷺ prohibited the renting of farms. So he stopped cultivating it and whenever he was asked, he would say, 'Ibn Khadijah claims that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prohibited renting farms.'"  

أَنَّ الْأَرْضَ كَانَتْ تُكْرَى عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بِمَا عَلَى الْأَرْبِعَاءِ وَشَيْءٍ مِنَ التِّبْنِ لَا أَدْرِيكَمْ هُوَ وَإِنَّ ابْنَ عُمَرَ كَانَ يُكْرِي أَرْضَهُ فِي عَهْدِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَعَهْدِ عُمَرَ وَعَهْدِ عُثْمَانَ وَصَدْرِ إِمَارَةِ مُعَاوِيَةَ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ فِي آخِرِهَا بَلَغَهُ أَنَّ رَافِعًا يُحَدِّثُ فِي ذَلِكَ بِنَهْيِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَتَاهُ وَأَنَا مَعَهُ فَسَأَلَهُ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنْ كِرَاءِ الْمَزَارِعِ فَتَرَكَهَا ابْنُ عُمَرَ فَكَانَ لَا يُكْرِيهَا فَكَانَ إِذَا سُئِلَ يَقُولُ زَعَمَ ابْنُ خَدِيجٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ نَهَى عَنْ كِرَاءِ الْمَزَارِعِ  

[Machine] "And if I wanted, I would have said it during the time of the Prophet's ﷺ Covenant, until when it was in the last days of Muawiya's reign, Rafa'a bin Khadeej informed him of a hadith. So he went, and I was with him, and he asked him about it. He said, 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade renting of farms, so he abandoned renting them.' So whenever he was asked after that, he would say, 'Ibn Khadeej claims that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade renting of farms.'"  

وَلَوْ شِئْتُ قُلْتُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ فِي آخِرِ إِمَارَةِ مُعَاوِيَةَ بَلَغَهُ عَنْ رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ حَدِيثٌ فَذَهَبَ وَأَنَا مَعَهُ فَسَأَلَهُ عَنْهُ فَقَالَ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنْ كِرَاءِ الْمَزَارِعِ فَتَرَكَ أَنْ يُكْرِيَهَا فَكَانَ إِذَا سُئِلَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ يَقُولُ زَعَمَ ابْنُ خَدِيجٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ نَهَى عَنْ كِرَاءِ الْمَزَارِعِ  

[Machine] Ibn 'Umar used to rent out his farms during the time of the Prophet ﷺ, Abu Bakr, 'Umar, 'Uthman, and Sadr during the reign of Mu'awiyah. Then a man came to him and said, "Rafi' ibn Khadij claims that the Prophet ﷺ forbade renting out farms." Nafi' said, "So Ibn 'Umar went to Rafi' and I went with him. Ibn 'Umar asked Rafi', 'What have you heard about renting out farms from the Prophet ﷺ?' Rafi' replied, 'Yes, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade renting out farms.' After that, whenever Abdullah was asked about renting out farms, he would say, 'Rafi' ibn Khadij claims that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade it.'"  

كَانَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ يُكْرِي مَزَارِعَهُ عَلَى عَهْدِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَأَبِي بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ وَعُثْمَانَ وَصَدْرٍ مِنْ إِمَارَةِ مُعَاوِيَةَ ؓ فَأَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ إِنَّ رَافِعَ بْنَ خَدِيجٍ يَزْعُمُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ نَهَى عَنْ كَرْيِ الْمَزَارِعِ قَالَ نَافِعٌ فَانْطَلَقَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ إِلَى رَافِعٍ فَانْطَلَقْتُ مَعَهُ فَقَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ مَا الَّذِي بَلَغَنِي عَنْكَ تَذْكُرُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي كَرْيِ الْمَزَارِعِ؟ فَقَالَ «نَعَمْ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنْ كَرْيِ الْمَزَارِعِ» فَكَانَ عَبْدُ اللهِ إِذَا سُئِلَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ عَنْ كَرْيِ الْمَزَارِعِ قَالَ زَعَمَ رَافِعُ بْنُ خَدِيجٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ نَهَى عَنْهُ  

"The Messenger of Allah used to forbid leasing arable land." So Ibn 'Umar stopped (doing that) afterward. When he was asked about it he said: "Rafi' bin Khadij said that the Prophet forbade that." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3911)   

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَتَاهُ وَأَنَا مَعَهُ فَسَأَلَهُ فَقَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «يَنْهَى عَنْ كِرَاءِ الْمَزَارِعِ» فَتَرَكَهَا ابْنُ عُمَرَ بَعْدُ فَكَانَ إِذَا سُئِلَ عَنْهَا قَالَ زَعَمَ رَافِعُ بْنُ خَدِيجٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ نَهَى عَنْهَا وَافَقَهُ كَثِيرُ بْنُ فَرْقَدَ وَعُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ وَجُوَيْرِيَةُ بْنُ أَسْمَاءَ
