ثُمَّ حُدِّثَ، عَنْ رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ"نَهَى كِرَاءِ الْمَزَارِعِ". فَذَهَبَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ إِلَى رَافِعٍ، فَذَهَبْتُ مَعَهُ، فَسَأَلَهُ، فَقَالَ: نَهَى النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ كِرَاءِ الْمَزَارِعِ، فَقَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ: قَدْ عَلِمْتَ أَنَّا كُنَّا نُكْرِي مَزَارِعَنَا عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِمَا عَلَى الْأَرْبِعَاءِ وَبِشَيْءٍ مِنَ التِّبْنِ.
صحیح بخاری · Hadith 2344
Then he was told the narration of Rafi` 'bin Khadij that the Prophet had forbidden the renting of farms. Ibn `Umar went to Rafi` and I accompanied him. He asked Rafi` who replied that the Prophet had forbidden the renting of farms. Ibn `Umar said, "You know that we used to rent our farms in the lifetime of Allah's Apostle for the yield of the banks of the water streams (rivers) and for certain amount of figs.
