أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْحَکَمِ بْنِ أَعْيَنَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعَيْبُ بْنُ اللَّيْثِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ کَثِيرِ بْنِ فَرْقَدٍ عَنْ نَافِعٍ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ کَانَ يُکْرِي الْمَزَارِعَ فَحُدِّثَ أَنَّ رَافِعَ بْنَ خَدِيجٍ يَأْثُرُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ نَهَی عَنْ ذَلِکَ قَالَ نَافِعٌ فَخَرَجَ إِلَيْهِ عَلَی الْبَلَاطِ وَأَنَا مَعَهُ فَسَأَلَهُ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ نَهَی رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ کِرَائِ الْمَزَارِعِ فَتَرَکَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ کِرَائَهَا
سنن نسائی · Hadith 3948
It was narrated from Nafi’ that ‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar used to lease arabic land, then he was told that Rafi bin Khadij narrated from the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم that he forbade that. Nafi’ said: “He went out to him (and met him) in Al Balat, and I was with him. He asked him (about that), and he said: ‘Yes, the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم forbade leasing arabic land.’ So ‘Abdullah stopped leasing it.” (Sahih)
