حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ دُکَيْنٍ حَدَّثَنَا بُکَيْرٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ عَامِرٍ عَنْ ابْنِ أَبِي نُعْمٍ حَدَّثَنِي رَافِعُ بْنُ خَدِيجٍ أَنَّهُ زَرَعَ أَرْضًا فَمَرَّ بِهِ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ يَسْقِيهَا فَسَأَلَهُ لِمَنْ الزَّرْعُ وَلِمَنْ الْأَرْضُ فَقَالَ زَرْعِي بِبَذْرِي وَعَمَلِي لِي الشَّطْرُ وَلِبَنِي فُلَانٍ الشَّطْرُ فَقَالَ أَرْبَيْتُمَا فَرُدَّ الْأَرْضَ عَلَی أَهْلِهَا وَخُذْ نَفَقَتَکَ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 3402
Narrated Rafi ibn Khadij: Rafi had cultivated a land. The Prophet ﷺ passed him when he was watering it. So he asked him: To whom does the crop belong, and to whom does the land belong? He replied: The crop is mine for my seed and labour. The half (of the crop) is mine and the half for so-and-so. He said: You conducted usurious transaction. Return the land to its owner and take your wages and cost.
