حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَی بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ حَنْظَلَةَ بْنِ قَيْسٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ سَمِعَ رَافِعَ بْنَ خَدِيجٍ قَالَ کُنَّا أَکْثَرَ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ مُزْدَرَعًا کُنَّا نُکْرِي الْأَرْضَ بِالنَّاحِيَةِ مِنْهَا مُسَمًّی لِسَيِّدِ الْأَرْضِ قَالَ فَمِمَّا يُصَابُ ذَلِکَ وَتَسْلَمُ الْأَرْضُ وَمِمَّا يُصَابُ الْأَرْضُ وَيَسْلَمُ ذَلِکَ فَنُهِينَا وَأَمَّا الذَّهَبُ وَالْوَرِقُ فَلَمْ يَکُنْ يَوْمَئِذٍ
صحیح بخاری · Hadith 2327
Narrated Rafi` bin Khadij: We worked on farms more than anybody else in Medina. We used to rent the land at the yield of specific delimited portion of it to be given to the landlord. Sometimes the vegetation of that portion was affected by blights etc., while the rest remained safe and vice versa, so the Prophet forbade this practice. At that time gold or silver were not used (for renting the land). If they provided the seeds, they would get so-and-so much.
