أَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَعِيلَ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا ابْنُ عَوْنٍ عَنْ نَافِعٍ کَانَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ يَأْخُذُ کِرَائَ الْأَرْضِ فَبَلَغَهُ عَنْ رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ شَيْئٌ فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِي فَمَشَی إِلَی رَافِعٍ وَأَنَا مَعَهُ فَحَدَّثَهُ رَافِعٌ عَنْ بَعْضِ عُمُومَتِهِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَهَی عَنْ کِرَائِ الْأَرْضِ فَتَرَکَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بَعْدُ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 3945
It was narrated from Nafi’: “Ibn ‘Umar used to take rent for some land, then he heard something from Rafi’ bin Khadij. He took me by the hand and went to Rafi’, and I was with him. Rafi’ narrated to him from some of his paternal uncles, that the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم forbade leasing land, so ‘Abdullah stopped (doing that) afterward.” (Sahih)
