حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَجِيدِ الثَّقَفِيُّ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ نَافِعٍ أَنَّ ابْنَ عُمَرَ كَانَ يُكْرِي أَرْضَهُ عَلَى عَهْدِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ وَعُثْمَانَ وَبَعْضَ عَمَلِ مُعَاوِيَةَ قَالَ وَلَوْ شِئْتُ قُلْتُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ فِي آخِرِ إِمَارَةِ مُعَاوِيَةَ بَلَغَهُ عَنْ رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ حَدِيثٌ فَذَهَبَ وَأَنَا مَعَهُ فَسَأَلَهُ عَنْهُ فَقَالَ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ كِرَاءِ الْمَزَارِعِ فَتَرَكَ أَنْ يُكْرِيَهَا فَكَانَ إِذَا سُئِلَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ يَقُولُ زَعَمَ ابْنُ خَدِيجٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَهَى عَنْ كِرَاءِ الْمَزَارِعِ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 5319
It was narrated from Naafi' that Ibn 'Umar used to lease out his land at the time of Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthmaan and part of Mu'aawiyah's caliphate and, if you wish, I could say at the time of the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) until, towards the end of Mu'aawiyah's caliphate, he heard about a hadeeth from Raafi' ibn Khadeej, So he went to him, and I was with him; he asked him and he (Raafi) said: The Messenger of Ahah (PBUH) forbade leasing out farmland. So he stopped doing that and if he was asked about it he would say lbn Khadeej says that the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) forbade leasing out farmland.
