"My paternal uncle told me that they used to lease land at the time of the Messenger of Allah in return for what grew on the banks of the streams, and a share of the crop stipulated by the owner of the land. But the Messenger of Allah forbade us that." I (Hanzalah) said to Rafi': "How about leasing it in return for Dinars and Dirhams?" Rafi' said: "There is nothing wrong with (leasing it) for Dinars and Dirhams." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3898)
حَدَّثَنِي عَمِّي أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا يُكْرُونَ الْأَرْضَ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بِمَا يَنْبُتُ عَلَى الْأَرْبِعَاءِ وَشَيْءٍ مِنَ الزَّرْعِ يَسْتَثْنِيهِ صَاحِبُ الْأَرْضِ «فَنَهَانَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنْ ذَلِكَ» فَقُلْتُ لِرَافِعٍ فَكَيْفَ كِرَاؤُهَا بِالدِّينَارِ وَالدِّرْهَمِ؟ فَقَالَ رَافِعٌ لَيْسَ بِهَا بَأْسٌ بِالدِّينَارِ وَالدِّرْهَمِ خَالَفَهُ الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ عَلَى رِوَايَتِهِ عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ
