سنن نسائی · Hadith 3924

It was narrated that Abu Ja’far Al-Khatmi — whose name was ‘Umair bin Yazid — said: “My paternal uncle sent me with a slave of his, to Saeed bin Al-Musayyab to ask him about Al-Muzara ‘ah. He said: ‘Ibn ‘Umar did not see anything wrong with it, until he heard the Hadith from Rafi’ bin Khadij. Then he met him, and Rafi’ said: “The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم came to Banu Harithah and saw some crops. He said: ‘How good are the crops of Zuhair.’ They said: ‘It is not Zuhair’s, and he said: ‘Is the land not Zuhair’s?’ They said: ‘No (it is not his), rather he is leasing it.’ The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said: ‘Take your crops and give him what he spent.’ So we took our crops, and gave him what he had spent.” (Sahih) Tariq bin ‘Abdur-Rahman reported it from Saeed, and there is disagreement in what is narrated from him.
