"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade us from a matter that was of benefit for us. When one of us had some land and we would let someone use it for a portion of its produce or some Dirham. He said: 'When one of you has some land then let him grant it to his brother, or let him farm it.'"

نَهَانَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنْ أَمْرٍ كَانَ لَنَا نَافِعًا إِذَا كَانَتْ لأَحَدِنَا أَرْضٌ أَنْ يُعْطِيَهَا بِبَعْضِ خَرَاجِهَا أَوْ بِدَرَاهِمَ وَقَالَ إِذَا كَانَتْ لأَحَدِكُمْ أَرْضٌ فَلْيَمْنَحْهَا أَخَاهُ أَوْ لِيَزْرَعْهَا

"The Messenger of Allah came out to us and forbade something for us that had been beneficial for us, but the command of Messenger of Allah is better for us. He said: 'Whoever has land, let him cultivate it or leave it or give it (to someone else to cultivate).'"

خَرَجَ إِلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَنَهَانَا عَنْ أَمْرٍ كَانَ لَنَا نَافِعًا وَأَمْرُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ خَيْرٌ لَنَا قَالَ مَنْ كَانَ لَهُ أَرْضٌ فَلْيَزْرَعْهَا أَوْ لِيَذَرْهَا أَوْ لِيَمْنَحْهَا وَمِمَّا يَدُلُّ عَلَى أَنَّ طَاوُسًا لَمْ يَسْمَعْ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ

“If one of us did not need his land, he would give it (to someone else to cultivate) in return for one third, or one half of the yield , and he would stipulate (that the should receive) the produce grows on the banks of three streams, and the grains that remain in the ear after threshing, and the produce irrigated by a stream. Life at that time was hard, and he would work (the land) with iron and whatever Allah (SWT) willed, and he would benefit from it. Then Rafi bin Khadij came to us and said: ‘The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade you to do something that may seem beneficial to you, but obedience to Allah and obedience to His Messenger are more beneficial for you. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade Haq for you, and he said: “Whoever has no need of his land, let him give it to his brother (to cultivate) or let him leave it (uncultivated).”

إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ نَهَاكُمْ عَنْ أَمْرٍ كَانَ لَكُمْ نَافِعًا وَطَاعَةُ اللَّهِ وَطَاعَةُ رَسُولِهِ أَنْفَعُ لَكُمْ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَنْهَاكُمْ عَنِ الْحَقْلِ وَيَقُولُ مَنِ اسْتَغْنَى عَنْ أَرْضِهِ فَلْيَمْنَحْهَا أَخَاهُ أَوْ لِيَدَعْ

"Rafi' bin Khadij said: 'The Messenger of Allah has forbidden something for you that used to be beneficial for us, but obedience to the Messenger of Allah is more beneficial for us. He said: "Whoever has land let him cultivate it, and if he is unable to do so, let him give it to his brother to cultivate."'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3866)

قَالَقَالَ رَافِعُ بْنُ خَدِيجٍ نَهَانَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنْ أَمْرٍ كَانَ لَنَا نَافِعًا وَطَاعَةُ اللهِ وَطَاعَةُ رَسُولِهِ أَنْفَعُ لَنَا قَالَ مَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ أَرْضٌ فَلْيَزْرَعْهَا فَإِنْ عَجَزَ عَنْهَا فَلْيُزْرِعْهَا أَخَاهُ

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade us from a matter that was beneficial to us, and he ﷺ forbade us from scratching our heads and eyes with some of what comes out of it and with a discarded leaf. He said, "Whoever has land, let him cultivate it or give it to his brother."

نَهَانَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنْ أَمْرٍ كَانَ لَنَا نَافِعًا وَأَمْرُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى الرَّأْسِ وَالْعَيْنَيْنِ نَهَانَا أَنْ نُكْرِيَ أَرْضَنَا بِبَعْضِ مَا يَخْرُجُ مِنْهَا وبِوَرِقٍ مَنْقُودَةٍ وَقَالَ «مَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ أَرْضٌ فَلْيَزْرَعْهَا أَوْ لِيَمْنَحْهَا أَخَاهُ»

"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade us from a matter that was of benefit for us. When one of us had some land and we would let someone use it for a portion of its produce or some Dirham. He said: 'When one of you has some land then let him grant it to his brother, or let him farm it.'" (Using translation from Tirmidhī 1384)

نَهَانَا رَسُولُ اللهِ عَنْ أَمْرٍ كَانَ لَنَا نَافِعًا نَهَانَا إِذَا كَانَ لِأَحَدِنَا أَرْضٌ أَنْ يُعْطِيَهَا بِبَعْضِ خَرْجِهَا بِثُلُثٍ أَوْ بِنِصْفٍ وَقَالَ «مَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ أَرْضٌ فَلْيَزْرَعْهَا أَوْ لِيَمْنَحْهَا أَخَاهُ»

[AI] My uncles came to us and said, "The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , forbade us from doing something that was beneficial for us, and the obedience of Allah and His Messenger is more beneficial for us." He said, "Whoever has land, let him cultivate it or give it to his brother."

رَاحَ إِلَيْنَا خَالَايَ فَقَالَا نَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنْ أَمْرٍ كَانَ لَنَا نَافِعًا وَطَاعَةُ اللهِ وَطَاعَةُ رَسُولِهِ لَنَا أَنْفَعُ قَالَ «مَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ أَرْضٌ فَلْيَزْرَعْهَا أَوْ لِيَمْنَحْهَا أَخَاهُ»

[AI] The Messenger of Allah came to us and forbade us from an action that was beneficial to us, while the command of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ is better. He said, "Whoever has land should cultivate it, bestow it, or leave it as it is." This was mentioned to Tawus, and he said, "Indeed, Ibn Abbas knew better." Ibn Abbas said, "For a man to bestow his land upon his brother is better for him."

خَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ فَنَهَانَا عَنْ أَمْرٍ كَانَ لَنَا نَافِعًا وَأَمْرُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ خَيْرٌ قَالَ «مَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ أَرْضٌ فَلْيَزْرَعْهَا أَوْ لِيَمْنَحْهَا أَوْ لِيَذَرْهَا» فَذُكِرَ ذَلِكَ لِطَاوُسٍ فَقَالَ إِنَّ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ ؓ كَانَ أَعْلَمَ قَالَ قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ «لِأَنْ يَمْنَحَ الرَّجُلُ أَخَاهُ أَرْضَهُ خَيْرٌ لَهُ»

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to us and forbade us from something that was beneficial for us, but what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded us was better for us than what he forbade us from. He said, "Whoever owns land or has a land to cultivate, let him give it to his brother or let him bestow it upon him." Shu'bah said, "Abdul-Malik used to combine the statements of Ta'us, Ata' and Mujahid." Shu'bah said, "It seems like the one who narrated it from Mujahid said, 'Shu'bah, the companion of the Hadith.'"

خَرَجَ إِلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَنَهَانَا عَنْ أَمْرٍ كَانَ لَنَا نَافِعًا وَأَمْرُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ خَيْرٌ لَنَا مِمَّا نَهَانَا عَنْهُ قَالَ «مَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ أَرْضٌ أَوْ لِيَزْرَعْهَا أَخَاهُ أَوْ لِيَمْنَحْهَا» قَالَ شُعْبَةُ وَكَانَ عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ يَجْمَعُ بِقُولِ طَاوُسٍ وَعَطَاءٍ وَمُجَاهِدٍ قَالَ شُعْبَةُ وَكَأَنَّ الَّذِي يُحَدِّثُ عَنْهُ مُجَاهِدٌ قَالَ شُعْبَةُ صَاحِبُ الْحَدِيثِ

"The Messenger of Allah came out to us and forbade something for us that had been beneficial for us. He said: 'Whoever has land, let him cultivate it or give it to someone else (to cultivate), or leave it.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3871)

خَرَجَ إِلَيْنَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَنَهَانَا عَنْ أَمْرٍ كَانَ لَنَا نَافِعًا فَقَالَ «مَنْ كَانَ لَهُ أَرْضٌ فَلْيَزْرَعْهَا أَوْ يَمْنَحْهَا أَخَاهُ أَوْ يَذَرْهَا»

"The Messenger of Allah came out to us and forbade something for us that had been beneficial for us, but the command of Messenger of Allah is better for us. He said: 'Whoever has land, let him cultivate it or leave it or give it (to someone else to cultivate).'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3872)

خَرَجَ إِلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَنَهَانَا عَنْ أَمْرٍ كَانَ لَنَا نَافِعًا وَأَمْرُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ خَيْرٌ لَنَا قَالَ «مَنْ كَانَ لَهُ أَرْضٌ فَلْيَزْرَعْهَا أَوْ لِيَذَرْهَا أَوْ لِيَمْنَحْهَا» قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ وَمِمَّا يَدُلُّ عَلَى أَنَّ طَاوُسًا لَمْ يَسْمَعْ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ مِنْ رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ أَنَّ [395] 4586 مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْمُبَارَكِ أَخْبَرَنَا قَالَ
