[Machine] We used to make deals during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the deal was that a man would give his land on a third or a quarter or for a specified amount of food. Some of my relatives came to us and said that the Prophet ﷺ prohibited us from a matter that used to benefit us and the obedience of Allah and His Messenger's obedience is more beneficial for us. We asked, "What is that?" He said, "The Prophet of Allah ﷺ said, 'Whoever owns land should cultivate it himself or let his brother cultivate it, and should not rent it out for a third or a quarter or for a specified amount of food.'"

We used to give on rent land during the lifetime of Messenger of Allah ﷺ. We rented it on the share of one-third or one-fourth of the (produce) along with a definite quantity of corn. One day a person from among my uncles came to us and said: Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade us this act which was a source of benefit to us, but the obedience to Allah and to His Messenger ﷺ is more beneficial to us. He forbade us that we should rent land with one-third or one-fourth of (the produce) and the corn of a measure, and he commanded the owner of land that he should cultivate it or let it be cultivated by other (persons) but he showed disapproval of renting it or anything besides it.

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade them to eat it and said, "If any one of you has no food other than meat, he should cut pieces from it (from the three parts mentioned above) and eat. And he should not desire to take a share of it for awarding to his companions who do not own a portion of it."  

البيهقي:١١٧١٤أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ بْنُ بِشْرَانَ ثنا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الصَّفَّارُ ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ثنا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ بْنُ عَطَاءٍ ثنا سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي عَرُوبَةَ عَنْ يَعْلَى بْنِ حَكِيمٍ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ عَنْ رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ قَالَ

كُنَّا نُحَاقِلُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ فَقَدِمَ عَلَيْهِ بَعْضُ عُمُومَتِهِ قَالَ قَتَادَةُ اسْمُهُ ظُهَيْرٌ قَالَ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنْ أَمْرٍ كَانَ لَنَا نَافِعًا وَطَوَاعِيَةُ اللهِ وَرَسُولِهِ أَنْفَعُ لَنَا وَأَنْفَعُ قَالَ الْقَوْمُ وَمَا ذَاكَ؟ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ أَرْضٌ فَلْيَزْرَعْهَا أَوْ لِيُزْرِعْهَا أَخَاهُ وَلَا يُكَارِيهَا بِالثُّلُثِ وَلَا بِالرُّبُعِ وَلَا طَعَامٍ مُسَمًّى  

رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ مِنْ أَوْجُهٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عَرُوبَةَ
