أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِکِ عَنْ عَطَائٍ عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْ کَانَتْ لَهُ أَرْضٌ فَلْيَزْرَعْهَا أَوْ لِيَمْنَحْهَا أَخَاهُ وَلَا يُکْرِيهَا تَابَعَهُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 3911
It was narrated that Jabir said: “Some people had some extra land which they leased out in return for half of the yield, or one-third, or one-quarter. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said: ‘Whoever has land, let him cultivate it, or give it to his brother to cultivate or keep it (without cultivating it).” (Sahih) And Matar bin Tahman was in accord with him.
