[Machine] 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."  

الطبراني:٤٣٥٥حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ثنا جُبَارَةُ بْنُ مُغَلِّسٍ وَعُبَادَةُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ قَالَا ثنا قَيْسُ بْنُ الرَّبِيعِ عَنْ أَبِي حُصَيْنٍ عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ رِفَاعَةَ عَنْ جَدِّهِ رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ قَالَ

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»

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ prohibited us from doing something that would benefit us, and he also prohibited us from using the earth for some of its produce and using dried leaves. He also prohibited us from earning as a cupper (a person who practices cupping therapy).

"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)

[Machine] 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."

[Machine] 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."
