باب فِي الْمُزَارَعَةِ

English narration

Narrated by عبد الله بن عمر العدوي

Amr ibn Dinar said: I heard Ibn Umar say: We did not see any harm in sharecropping till I heard Rafi ibn Khadij say: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ has forbidden it. So I mentioned it to Tawus. He said: Ibn Abbas told me that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had not forbidden it, but said: It is better for one of you to lend to his brother than to take a prescribed sum from him.

النص العربي

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ ، أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ ، يَقُولُ : مَا كُنَّا نَرَى بِالْمُزَارَعَةِ بَأْسًا ، حَتَّى سَمِعْتُ رَافِعَ بْنَ خَدِيجٍ ، يَقُولُ : إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْه وَسَلَّمَ نَهَى عَنْهَا ، فَذَكَرْتُهُ لِطَاوُسٍ ، فَقَالَ : قَالَ لِي ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ : إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمْ يَنْهَ عَنْهَا ، وَلَكِنْ قَالَ : "

لَأَنْ يَمْنَحَ أَحَدُكُمْ أَرْضَهُ ، خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ عَلَيْهَا خَرَاجًا مَعْلُومًا
