Some men had superfluous land and they said that they would give it to others to cultivate on the condition that they would get one-third or one-fourth or one half of its yield. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Whoever has land should cultivate it himself or give it to his brother or keep it uncultivated."

كَانَتْ لِرِجَالٍ مِنَّا فُضُولُ أَرَضِينَ فَقَالُوا نُؤَاجِرُهَا بِالثُّلُثِ وَالرُّبُعِ وَالنِّصْفِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ أَرْضٌ فَلْيَزْرَعْهَا أَوْ لِيَمْنَحْهَا أَخَاهُ فَإِنْ أَبَى فَلْيُمْسِكْ أَرْضَهُ

He who has land should cultivate it himself, but if he does not cultivate it himself, then he should let his brother cultivate it.

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ أَرْضٌ فَلْيَزْرَعْهَا فَإِنْ لَمْ يَزْرَعْهَا فَلْيُزْرِعْهَا أَخَاهُ

He, who has surplus land (in his possession) should cultivate it, or he should lend it to his brother for benefit, but if he refuses to accept it, he should retain it.

كَانَ لِرِجَالٍ فُضُولُ أَرَضِينَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ فَضْلُ أَرْضٍ فَلْيَزْرَعْهَا أَوْ لِيَمْنَحْهَا أَخَاهُ فَإِنْ أَبَى فَلْيُمْسِكْ أَرْضَهُ

He who has land should cultivate it, but if he does not find it possible to cultivate it, or finds himself helpless to do so, he should lend it to his Muslim brother, but he should not accept rent from him.

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ أَرْضٌ فَلْيَزْرَعْهَا فَإِنْ لَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ أَنْ يَزْرَعَهَا وَعَجَزَ عَنْهَا فَلْيَمْنَحْهَا أَخَاهُ الْمُسْلِمَ وَلاَ يُؤَاجِرْهَا إِيَّاهُ

Did Jabir b. 'Abdullah (Allah be pleased with them) reported Allah's Apostle ﷺ as saying:" He who has land should cultivate it himself, or let his brother cultivate it, and should not give on rent"? He said: Yes.

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ أَرْضٌ فَلْيَزْرَعْهَا أَوْ لِيُزْرِعْهَا أَخَاهُ وَلاَ يُكْرِهَا قَالَ نَعَمْ

He who has land should cultivate it or lend it to his brother, but if he refuses, he should retain his land.

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ أَرْضٌ فَلْيَزْرَعْهَا أَوْ لِيَمْنَحْهَا أَخَاهُ فَإِنْ أَبَى فَلْيُمْسِكْ أَرْضَهُ

He who has land, it is better for him that he should let it out to his brother.

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ أَرْضٌ فَإِنَّهُ أَنْ يَمْنَحَهَا أَخَاهُ خَيْرٌ

"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."'"

رَافِعُ بْنُ خَدِيجٍ نَهَاكُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنْ أَمْرٍ كَانَ لَنَا نَافِعًا وَطَاعَةُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنْفَعُ لَنَا قَالَ مَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ أَرْضٌ فَلْيَزْرَعْهَا فَإِنْ عَجَزَ عَنْهَا فَلْيُزْرِعْهَا أَخَاهُ خَالَفَهُ عَبْدُ الْكَرِيمِ بْنُ مَالِكٍ

"Whoever has land, let him cultivate it. If he is unable to cultivate it, let him give it to his Muslim brother and not share-crop it with him."

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ كَانَ لَهُ أَرْضٌ فَلْيَزْرَعْهَا فَإِنْ عَجَزَ أَنْ يَزْرَعَهَا فَلْيَمْنَحْهَا أَخَاهُ الْمُسْلِمَ وَلاَ يُزْرِعْهَا إِيَّاهُ

The Messenger of Allah said: "Whoever has land, let him cultivate it or give it to his brother, and not lease it to him."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ أَرْضٌ فَلْيَزْرَعْهَا أَوْ لِيَمْنَحْهَا أَخَاهُ وَلاَ يُكْرِيهَا تَابَعَهُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو الأَوْزَاعِيُّ

"Some people had some extra land which they leased out in return for half of the yield, or one-third, or one-quarter. The Messenger of Allah said: 'Whoever has land, let him cultivate it, or give it to his brother to cultivate or keep it (without cultivating it).'"

كَانَ لأُنَاسٍ فُضُولُ أَرَضِينَ يُكْرُونَهَا بِالنِّصْفِ وَالثُّلُثِ وَالرُّبُعِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ أَرْضٌ فَلْيَزْرَعْهَا أَوْ يُزْرِعْهَا أَوْ يُمْسِكْهَا وَافَقَهُ مَطَرُ بْنُ طَهْمَانَ

"Whoever has land, let him cultivate it or give it to his brother to cultivate, and not lease it to his brother."

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ أَرْضٌ فَلْيَزْرَعْهَا أَوْ لِيُزْرِعْهَا أَخَاهُ وَلاَ يُكْرِيهَا أَخَاهُ وَقَدْ رَوَى النَّهْىَ عَنِ الْمُحَاقَلَةِ يَزِيدُ بْنُ نُعَيْمٍ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ

“I heard Jabir bin 'Abdullah say: Some men among us had extra land which they would rent out for one third or one quarter (of the crop). The Prophet ﷺ said: “Whoever has extra land, let him cultivate it (himself) or let him give it to his brother (for free, to cultivate it), and if he does not want to do that, let him keep his land.”

النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ فُضُولُ أَرَضِينَ فَلْيَزْرَعْهَا أَوْ لِيُزْرِعْهَا أَخَاهُ فَإِنْ أَبَى فَلْيُمْسِكْ أَرْضَهُ

“Whoever has land, let him cultivate it (himself) or let him give it to his brother (for free, to cultivate it), and if he does not want to do that, let him keep his land.”

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ أَرْضٌ فَلْيَزْرَعْهَا أَوْ لِيَمْنَحْهَا أَخَاهُ فَإِنْ أَبَى فَلْيُمْسِكْ أَرْضَهُ

“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ addressed us and said: 'Whoever has land, let him cultivate it or allow someone else to cultivate it, and not rent it out.' ”

خَطَبَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ مَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ أَرْضٌ فَلْيَزْرَعْهَا أَوْ لِيُزْرِعْهَا وَلاَ يُؤَاجِرْهَا

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever has a piece of land that he presents to his brother, it is better for him."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ أَرْضٌ أَنْ يَمْنَحَهَا أَخَاهُ خَيْرٌ لَهُ

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Whoever has land, then let them cultivate it. And if they are unable to or incapable, then let them gift it to their brother and not rent it out."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ أَرْضٌفَلْيَزْرَعْهَا فَإِنْ لَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ أَوْ عَجَزَ عَنْهَا فَلْيَمْنَحْهَا أَخَاهُ وَلَا يُؤَاجِرْهَا

He who has land should cultivate it, but if he does not find it possible to cultivate it, or finds himself helpless to do so, he should lend it to his Muslim brother, but he should not accept rent from him. (Using translation from Muslim 1536o)

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ مَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ أَرْضٌ فَلْيَزْرَعْهَا فَإِنْ لَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ أَنْ يَزْرَعَهَا أَوْ عَجَزَ عَنْهَا فَلْيَمْنَحْهَا أَخَاهُ الْمُسْلِمَ وَلَا يُؤَاجِرْهَا

We used to cultivate land on rent during the lifetime of Allah's Apostle ﷺ and we got a share out of the grain left in the ears after threshing them and something unspecified. Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: He who has land should cultivate it or let his brother till it, otherwise he should leave it. (Using translation from Muslim 1536s)

كُنَّا نُخَابِرُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَنُصِيبُ مِنَ الْقَصْرِيِّ وَمِنْ كَذَا فَقَالَ مَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ أَرْضٌ فَلْيَزْرَعْهَا أَوْ لِيُحْرِثْهَا أَخَاهُ وَإِلَّا فَلْيَدَعْهَا

[AI] Men used to have idle land, so they would rent it out for a third, a quarter, or half. Then, the Prophet ﷺ said, "Whoever has land, let him cultivate it or give it to his brother as a gift. If he refuses, then let him hold onto his land."

كَانَتْ لِرِجَالٍ فُضُولُ أَرَضِينَ فَكَانُوا يُؤَاجِرُونَهَا عَلَى الثُّلُثِ وَالرُّبُعِ وَالنِّصْفِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ أَرْضٌ فَلْيَزْرَعْهَا أَوْ لِيَمْنَحْهَا أَخَاهُ فَإِنْ أَبَى فَلْيُمْسِكْ أَرْضَهُ

Did Jabir b. 'Abdullah (Allah be pleased with them) reported Allah's Apostle ﷺ as saying:" He who has land should cultivate it himself, or let his brother cultivate it, and should not give on rent"? He said: Yes. (Using translation from Muslim 1536p)

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ أَرْضٌ فَلْيَزْرَعْهَا أَوْ لِيُزْرِعْهَا أَخَاهُ وَلَا يُكْرِيهَا ؟ قَالَ عَطَاءٌ نَعَمْ

[AI] The Prophet ﷺ said: "Whoever has land, let him plant it. And if he is unable to, let his brother plant it. And if neither of them can, then let it be left alone and not be left barren."

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ أَرْضٌ فَلْيَزْرَعْهَا فَإِنْ عَجَزَ عَنْهَا فَلْيُزْرِعْهَا أَخَاهُ وَإِلَّا فَلْيَدَعْهَا وَلَا يُكَارِيهَا

“Whoever has land, let him cultivate it (himself) or let him give it to his brother (for free, to cultivate it), and if he does not want to do that, let him keep his land.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 2452)

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever has land or water, let them cultivate it themselves or let their brother cultivate it. And do not sell it." So I asked Sa'id, "Is renting allowed?" He said, "Yes."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ كَانَ لَهُ فَضْلُ أَرْضٍ أَوْ مَاءٍ فَلْيَزْرَعْهَا أَوْ لِيُزْرِعْهَا أَخَاهُ وَلَا تَبِيعُوهَا فَسَأَلْتُ سَعِيدًا مَا لَا تَبِيعُوهَا الْكِرَاءُ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ

[AI] "The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said: 'Whoever has land, let him cultivate it or allow it to be cultivated or keep it'." and Matr ibn Tahman agreed.

رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ أَرْضٌ فَلْيَزْرَعْهَا أَوْ يُزْرِعْهَا أَوْ يُمْسِكْهَا» وَافَقَهُ مَطَرُ بْنُ طَهْمَانَ
