حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو کُرَيْبٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَةُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ وَأَبُو أُسَامَةَ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ أَوْ قَالَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ أَنَّهُ کَانَ يُکْرِي أَرْضًا لَهُ مَزَارِعًا فَأَتَاهُ إِنْسَانٌ فَأَخْبَرَهُ عَنْ رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَهَی عَنْ کِرَائِ الْمَزَارِعِ فَذَهَبَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ وَذَهَبْتُ مَعَهُ حَتَّی أَتَاهُ بِالْبَلَاطِ فَسَأَلَهُ عَنْ ذَلِکَ فَأَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَهَی عَنْ کِرَائِ الْمَزَارِعِ فَتَرَکَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ کِرَائَهَا
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 2453
It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah said: "Whoever has land, let him cultivate it (himself) or let him give it to his brother (for free, to cultivate it), and if he does not want to do that, let him keep his land."
