"He went out to him (and met him) in Al-Balat, and I was with him. He asked him (about that) and he said: 'Yes, the Messenger of Allah forbade leasing arable land.' So 'Abdullah stopped leasing it." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3912)
عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ نَهَى عَنْ ذَلِكَ قَالَ نَافِعٌ فَخَرَجَ إِلَيْهِ عَلَى الْبَلَاطِ وَأَنَا مَعَهُ فَسَأَلَهُ فَقَالَ «نَعَمْ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنْ كِرَاءِ الْمَزَارِعِ» فَتَرَكَ عَبْدُ اللهِ كِرَاءَهَا
"A man told Ibn 'Umar that Rafi' bin Khadij had narrated a Hadith concerning leasing of land. He and I, along with the man who had told him that, went to Rafi', and he told us that the Messenger of Allah had forbidden leasing land. So 'Abdullah stopped leasing land." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3913)
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ «نَهَى عَنْ كِرَاءِ الْأَرْضِ» فَتَرَكَ عَبْدُ اللهِ كِرَاءَ الْأَرْضِ

"Ibn 'Umar used to lease his land in return for some of its produce. Then he heard that Rafi' bin Khadij warned against that. He said: 'The Messenger of Allah forbade that.' He said: 'We used to lease our land before we came to know Rafi'.' Then he (Ibn 'Umar) became unsure, so he put his hand on my shoulder and we went to Rafi'. 'Abdullah said to him: 'Did you hear the Prophet forbid leasing land?' Rafi' said: 'I heard the Prophet say: Do not lease land in return for anything.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3915)
وَقَالَ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنْ ذَلِكَ قَالَ قَدْ كُنَّا نُكْرِي الْأَرْضَ قَبْلَ أَنْ نَعْرِفَ رَافِعًا ثُمَّ وَجَدَ فِي نَفْسِهِ فَوَضَعَ يَدَهُ عَلَى مَنْكِبَيَّ حَتَّى دَفَعْنَا إِلَى رَافِعٍ فَقَالَ لَهُ عَبْدُ اللهِ أَسَمِعْتَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ نَهَى عَنْ كِرَاءِ الْأَرْضِ؟ قَالَ رَافِعٌ سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ «لَا تُكْرُوا الْأَرْضَ بِشَيْءٍ»

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ «نَهَى عَنِ الْمُخَابَرَةِ»
[Machine] He heard the Prophet ﷺ say, "He is forbidden from false information." Hammad ibn Zaid agreed with them.
أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ «يَنْهَى عَنِ الْخَبَرِ» وَافَقَهُمَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ
"I heard Ibn 'Umar say: 'We did not see anything wrong with Al-Khibr until last year, when Rafi' said that the Prophet of Allah forbade it.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3919)
أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللهِ ﷺ «نَهَى عَنْهَا» خَالَفَهُ عَارِمٌ فَقَالَ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ عَمْرٍو عَنْ جَابِرٍ

«نَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنِ الْمُخَابَرَةِ وَالْمُحَاقَلَةِ وَالْمُزَابَنَةِ» سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ جَمَعَ الْحَدِيثَيْنِ فَقَالَ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ وَجَابِرٍ
It was narrated from Ibn 'Umar and Jabir that the Messenger of Allah forbade selling fruits until it was clear that they were free of blemish, and (he forbade from) Al-Mukhabarah; leasing land in return for one-third or one-quarter (of the yield). (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3921)
عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ وَجَابِرٍ قَالَا «نَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنْ بَيْعِ الثَّمَرِ حَتَّى يَبْدُوَ صَلَاحُهُ وَنَهَى عَنِ الْمُخَابَرَةِ كِرَاءِ الْأَرْضِ بِالثُّلُثِ وَالرُّبُعِ» رَوَاهُ أَبُو النَّجَاشِيِّ عَطَاءُ بْنُ صُهَيْبٍ وَاخْتُلِفَ عَلَيْهِ فِيهِ
"Do you rent out your arable land?" I said: "Yes, O Messenger of Allah. We rent it out in return for one-quarter, and in return for (a number of) Wasqs of barley." The Messenger of Allah said: "Do not do that. Cultivate it (yourselves), or lend it, or keep it." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3922)
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لِرَافِعٍ «أَتُؤَاجِرُونَ مَحَاقِلَكُمْ؟» قُلْتُ نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ نُؤَاجِرُهَا عَلَى الرُّبُعِ وَعَلَى الْأَوْسَاقِ مِنَ الشَّعِيرِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لَا تَفْعَلُوا ازْرَعُوهَا أَوْ أَعِيرُوهَا أَوِ امْسِكُوهَا» خَالَفَهُ الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ فَقَالَ عَنْ أَبِي النَّجَاشِيِّ عَنْ رَافِعٍ عَنْ ظُهَيْرِ بْنِ رَافِعٍ
Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade a practice which was useful for us. I said: What is this? (I believe) that whatrver Messenger of Allah ﷺ says is absolutely true. He (Zuhair) said that he (the Holy Prophet) asked me: What do you do with your cultivable lands? I said: Messenger of Allah, we rent those irrigated by canals for dry dates or barley. He said: Don't do that. Cultivate them or let them be cultivated (by others) or retain them yourself. (Using translation from Muslim 1548e)
نَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنْ أَمْرٍ كَانَ بِنَا رَافِقًا قُلْتُ وَمَا ذَاكَ؟ مَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَهُوَ حَقٌّ قَالَ سَأَلَنِي «كَيْفَ تَصْنَعُونَ فِي مَحَاقِلِكُمْ؟» قُلْتُ نُؤَجِّرُهَا عَلَى الرُّبُعِ وَالْأَوْسَاقِ مِنَ التَّمْرِ أَوِ الشَّعِيرِ قَالَ «فَلَا تَفْعَلُوا ازْرَعُوهَا أَوْ أَزْرِعُوهَا أَوِ امْسِكُوهَا» رَوَاهُ بُكَيْرٌ عَنْ أُسَيْدِ بْنِ رَافِعٍ فَجَعَلَ الرِّوَايَةَ لِأَخِي رَافِعٍ
"Today the Messenger of Allah has forbidden something which was convenient for you, but following his command is an act of obedience (to Allah) and is good. He forbade Al-Haql." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3924)
لِقَوْمِهِ قَدْ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْيَوْمَ عَنْ شَيْءٍ كَانَ لَكُمْ رَافِقًا «وَأَمْرُهُ طَاعَةٌ وَخَيْرٌ نَهَى عَنِ الْحَقْلِ»
"I heard Usaid bin Rafi' bin Khadij Al-Ansari say that they did not allow Al-Muhaqalah, which is land that is cultivated in return for some of its produce." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3925)
سَمِعْتُ أُسَيْدَ بْنَ رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ يَذْكُرُ أَنَّهُمْ «مَنَعُوا الْمُحَاقَلَةَ» وَهِيَ أَرْضٌ تُزْرَعُ عَلَى بَعْضِ مَا فِيهَا رَوَاهُ عِيسَى بْنُ سَهْلِ بْنِ رَافِعٍ
"I was an orphan in the care of my grandfather Rafi' bin Khadij. I reached puberty and became a man, and I performed Hajj with him. My brother 'Imran bin Sahl bin Rafi' bin Khadij came and said: 'O my father, we have leased our land to so and so (a woman) for two hundred Dirhams.' He said: 'O my son, leave that (do not do it), for Allah will give you other provision. The Messenger of Allah forbade leasing land.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3926)
يَا أَبَتَاهُ إِنَّا قَدْ أَكْرَيْنَا أَرْضَنَا فُلَانَةَ بِمِئَتَيْ دِرْهَمٍ فَقَالَ يَا بُنَيَّ دَعْ ذَاكَ فَإِنَّ اللهَ سَيَجْعَلُ لَكُمْ رِزْقًا غَيْرَهُ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَدْ «نَهَى عَنْ كِرَاءِ الْأَرْضِ»
[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'If this is your affair, then do not plow the fields.' Rafi' heard his statement 'do not plow the fields,' but Yazid ibn Zurai' opposed him, saying about Walid ibn Walid."
رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنْ كَانَ هَذَا شَأْنَكُمْ فَلَا تُكْرُوا الْمَزَارِعَ» فَسَمِعَ رَافِعٌ قَوْلَهُ «لَا تُكْرُوا الْمَزَارِعَ» خَالَفَهُ يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ فَقَالَ عَنِ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ
[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'If this is your concern, then do not sow seeds.' Al-Walid ibn al-Walid agreed with his statement, and Bashr ibn al-Mufaddal."
رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنْ كَانَ هَذَا شَأْنُكُمْ فَلَا تُكْرُوا الْمَزَارِعَ» وَافَقَهُ عَلَى قَوْلِهِ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ بِشْرُ بْنُ الْمُفَضَّلِ
“May Allah (SWT) forgive Rafi' bin Khadij. By Allah (SWT)! I have more knowledge of Ahadith than he does. Two men who had quarreled came to the Prophet ﷺ and he said: 'If this is your situation, do not lease farms,' and what Rafi' bin khadij heard was 'Do not lease farms.' ” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 2461)
يَغْفِرُ اللهُ لِرَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ أَنَا كُنْتُ أَعْلَمُ بِالْحَدِيثِ إِنَّمَا جَاءَ رَجُلَانِ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَدِ اقْتَتَلَا فَقَالَ «إِنْ كَانَ هَذَا شَأْنَكُمْ فَلَا تُكْرُوا الْمَزَارِعَ» فَسَمِعَ قَوْلَهُ «لَا تُكْرُوا الْمَزَارِعَ»
