أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مَالِکٌ عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ عَنْ حَنْظَلَةَ بْنِ قَيْسٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ رَافِعَ بْنَ خَدِيجٍ عَنْ کِرَائِ الْأَرْضِ فَقَالَ نَهَی رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ کِرَائِ الْأَرْضِ قُلْتُ بِالذَّهَبِ وَالْوَرِقِ قَالَ لَا إِنَّمَا نَهَی عَنْهَا بِمَا يَخْرُجُ مِنْهَا فَأَمَّا الذَّهَبُ وَالْفِضَّةُ فَلَا بَأْسَ رَوَاهُ سُفْيَانُ الثَّوْرِيُّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ وَلَمْ يَرْفَعْهُ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 3936
It was narrated tim 444t Hanzaiah bin Qais said: “asked Rafi’ bin Khadij about leasing uncultivated land in return for gold and silver. He said: ‘(It is) permissible and there is nothing wrong with that. That is the due of the land.” (Sahih) Yahya bin Saeed reported it from Hanzalah bin Qais and in Marfu’ form; just as Malik did from Rabi’ah.
