Hazrat Rafi' bin Khadij narrates this as a marfu' hadith: If a person cultivates someone else's land without permission, then the expenses incurred by that person will be returned to him, but he will not receive anything from the crop.

Hazrat Abu Ja'far Khatmi narrates that my uncle sent me and one of his slaves to Sa'id bin Musayyib to ask what he says about sharecropping (muzara'ah). He replied: Ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) saw no harm in it, until he was told this hadith about sharecropping: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) went to Banu Harithah and saw crops in the land of Zuhair. People informed him that these crops did not belong to Zuhair. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Is this land not Zuhair's?" The people said: "Why not (it is his), but so-and-so has cultivated it." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Return to so-and-so his expenses and take your crops." Hazrat Rafi' narrates: We took our crops and returned his expenses to him. And (Imam) Abu Hanifah's opinion is mentioned that: He should uproot his crops.
