سنن نسائی · Hadith 3937

It was narrated that Rafi’ bin Khadij said: “The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم forbade us to lease our land. At that time there was no gold nor silver. A man would lease his land in return for what grew on the banks of streams and where the springs emerged, and in return for something specific.” (Sahih) And he quoted the rest of it. Salim bin ‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar reported it from Rafi’ bin Khadij, and there is a difference over Az Zuhri’s narration of it.
