و حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ عَمْرٍو وَابْنُ طَاوُسٍ عَنْ طَاوُسٍ أَنَّهُ کَانَ يُخَابِرُ قَالَ عَمْرٌو فَقُلْتُ لَهُ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ لَوْ تَرَکْتَ هَذِهِ الْمُخَابَرَةَ فَإِنَّهُمْ يَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَهَی عَنْ الْمُخَابَرَةِ فَقَالَ أَيْ عَمْرُو أَخْبَرَنِي أَعْلَمُهُمْ بِذَلِکَ يَعْنِي ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمْ يَنْهَ عَنْهَا إِنَّمَا قَالَ يَمْنَحُ أَحَدُکُمْ أَخَاهُ خَيْرٌ لَهُ مِنْ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ عَلَيْهَا خَرْجًا مَعْلُومًا
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 3958
Mujahid said to Tiwus: Come along with me to Ibn Rafi b. Khadij in order to listen from him the hadith transmitted on the authority of his father (pertaining to the renting of land) from Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ). He (Tawus) scolded him and said: By Allah, it I were to know that Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) had forbidden it, I would have never done it. But it has been narrated to me by one who has better knowledge of it amongst them (and he meant Ibn 'Abbas) that Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: It is better if a person lends, his land to his brother (for cultivation) than that he gets recognised rent on it.
