[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."
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»
