"I asked Rafi' bin Khadij about leasing land. He said: 'The Messenger of Allah forbade leasing land.' I said: 'For gold or silver?' He said: 'No, rather he forbade leasing it in return for what the land produces. As for gold and silver, there is nothing wrong with that.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3900)
«نَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنْ كِرَاءِ الْأَرْضِ» فَقُلْتُ بِالذَّهَبِ وَالْوَرِقِ؟ قَالَ «لَا إِنَّمَا نَهَى عَنْهَا بِمَا يَخْرُجُ مِنْهَا فَأَمَّا الذَّهَبُ وَالْفِضَّةُ فَلَا بَأْسَ» رَوَاهُ سُفْيَانُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الثَّوْرِيُّ عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ وَلَمْ يَرْفَعْهُ
