"Arable land used to be leased out at the time of the Messenger of Allah on condition that the owner of the land would have whatever grew on the banks of the streams and a share of straw, I do not know how much it was." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3931)
أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللهِ كَانَ يَقُولُ «كَانَتِ الْمَزَارِعُ تُكْرَى عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى أَنَّ لِرَبِّ الْأَرْضِ مَا عَلَى رَبِيعِ السَّاقِي مِنَ الزَّرْعِ وَطَائِفَةً مِنَ التِّبْنِ لَا أَدْرِي كَمْ هُوَ»
