حَدَّثَنَا مَالِکُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ حَنْظَلَةَ الزُّرَقِيَّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَافِعَ بْنَ خَدِيجٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يَقُولُ کُنَّا أَکْثَرَ الْأَنْصَارِ حَقْلًا فَکُنَّا نُکْرِي الْأَرْضَ فَرُبَّمَا أَخْرَجَتْ هَذِهِ وَلَمْ تُخْرِجْ ذِهِ فَنُهِينَا عَنْ ذَلِکَ وَلَمْ نُنْهَ عَنْ الْوَرِقِ
صحیح بخاری · Hadith 2722
Narrated Rafi` bin Khadij: We used to work on the fields more than the other Ansar, and we used to rent the land (for the yield of a specific portion of it). But sometimes that portion or the rest of the land did not give any yield, so we were forbidden (by the Prophet ) to follow such a system, but we were allowed to rent the land for money.
