Amr ibn Dinar said: I heard Ibn Umar say: We did not see any harm in sharecropping till I heard Rafi ibn Khadij say: The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم has forbidden it. So I mentioned it to Tawus. He said: Ibn Abbas told me that the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم had not forbidden it, but said: It is better for one of you to lend to his brother than to take a prescribed sum from him.

Narrated Urwah bin al-Zubair: That Zayd ibn Thabit said: May Allah forgive Rafi ibn Khadij. I swear by Allah, I have more knowledge of Hadith than him. Two persons of the Ansar (according to the version of Musaddad) came to him who were disputing with each other. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: If this is your position, then do not lease the agricultural land. The version of Musaddad has: So he (Rafi ibn Khadij) heard his statement: Do not lease agricultural lands.

Narrated Saad: We used to lease land for what grew by the streamlets and for what was watered from them. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم forbade us to do that, and commanded us to lease if for gold or silver.

Narrated Hanzlah bin Qais al-Ansari: I asked Rafi bin Khadij about the lease of land for gold and silver (i. e. for dinars and dirhams). There is no harm in it, for the people used to let out land in the time of the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم for what grew by the current of water and at the banks of streamlets and at the places of cultivation. So sometimes this (portion) perished and that (portion) was saved, and sometimes this remained intact and that perished. There was no (form of) lease among the people except this. Therefore, he forbade it. But if there is something which is secure and known, then there is no harm in it. The tradition of Ibrahim is more perfect. Qutaibah said: "from Hanzalah on the authority of Rafi ". Abu Dawud said: A similar tradition has been transmitted by Yahya bin Saeed from Hanzalah.

Hanzalah ibn Qays said that he asked Rafi ibn Khadij about the lease of land. He replied: The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم forbade the leasing of land. I asked: (Did he forbid) for gold and silver (i. e. dinars and dirhams)? He replied: If it is against gold and silver, then there is no harm in it.
