حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ خَالِدٍ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ حَنْظَلَةَ بْنِ قَيْسٍ عَنْ رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عَمَّايَ أَنَّهُمْ کَانُوا يُکْرُونَ الْأَرْضَ عَلَی عَهْدِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِمَا يَنْبُتُ عَلَی الْأَرْبِعَائِ أَوْ شَيْئٍ يَسْتَثْنِيهِ صَاحِبُ الْأَرْضِ فَنَهَی النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ ذَلِکَ فَقُلْتُ لِرَافِعٍ فَکَيْفَ هِيَ بِالدِّينَارِ وَالدِّرْهَمِ فَقَالَ رَافِعٌ لَيْسَ بِهَا بَأْسٌ بِالدِّينَارِ وَالدِّرْهَمِ وَقَالَ اللَّيْثُ وَکَانَ الَّذِي نُهِيَ عَنْ ذَلِکَ مَا لَوْ نَظَرَ فِيهِ ذَوُو الْفَهْمِ بِالْحَلَالِ وَالْحَرَامِ لَمْ يُجِيزُوهُ لِمَا فِيهِ مِنْ الْمُخَاطَرَةِ قال ابوعبدالله من ههناقول الليث وکان الذي نهي عن ذالک
صحیح بخاری · Hadith 2346
Narrated Hanzla bin Qais: Rafi` bin Khadij said, "My two uncles told me that they (i.e. the companions of the Prophet) used to rent the land in the lifetime of the Prophet for the yield on the banks of water streams (rivers) or for a portion of the yield stipulated by the owner of the land. The Prophet forbade it." I said to Rafi`, "What about renting the land for Dinars and Dirhams?" He replied, "There is no harm in renting for Dinars- Dirhams. Al-Laith said, "If those who have discernment for distinguishing what is legal from what is illegal looked into what has been forbidden concerning this matter they would not permit it, for it is surrounded with dangers."
