حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ کُنَّا نُخَابِرُ عَلَی عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَنُصِيبُ مِنْ الْقِصْرِيِّ وَمِنْ کَذَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْ کَانَتْ لَهُ أَرْضٌ فَلْيَزْرَعْهَا أَوْ فَلْيُحْرِثْهَا أَخَاهُ وَإِلَّا فَلْيَدَعْهَا
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 3924
Jabir b. Abdullah (Allah be pleased with them) heard Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) say: He who has surplus of land should either cultivate it himself, or let his brother cultivate it, an should not sell it. I (the narrator) said to Sa'id: What does his statement do not sell it mean? Does it imply rent ? He said: Yes.
