Hazrat Abu Ja'far, may Allah have mercy on him, says that in Madinah Munawwarah, there was no house of the Muhajireen that did not give their lands for sharecropping on the basis of one-third or one-fourth.

Hazrat Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with both of them) used to give his land for sharecropping on the basis of one-third (of the produce).

Hazrat Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: "My land and my camel (in terms of being given on rent) are equal."

It is narrated from Hazrat Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave the land of Khaybar to its people on the basis of sharecropping for half the produce.

Hazrat Abdullah bin Isa narrates that Hazrat Abdur Rahman bin Abi Laila had land at the place of Fawwarah, which he had given on sharecropping for one-third and one-fourth of the produce. He had sent me to distribute it among those people.
