[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not prohibit renting land, but he said, "It is better for one of you to give his brother a gift than to charge him rent for it."

الطبراني:١٠٨٨١حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ الْمَكِّيُّ ثنا ابْنُ عَائِشَةَ ثنا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ عَنْ طَاوُسٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ

لَمْ يَنْهَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنْ كِرَاءِ الْأَرْضِ وَلَكِنَّهُ قَالَ «لِأَنْ يَمْنَحَ أَحَدُكُمْ أَخَاهُ خَيْرٌ لَهُ مِنْ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ عَلَيْهَا أَجْرًا»

When I mentioned it (i.e. the narration of Rafiʿ 'bin Khadij: no. 532) to Tawus, he said, "It is permissible to rent the land for cultivation, for Ibn ʿAbbas said, 'The Prophet ﷺ did not forbid that, but said: One had better give the land to one's brother gratis rather than charge a certain amount for it.' "
