Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: We used to lease out land and did not see any harm in it, until Sayyiduna Rafi’ bin Khadij (may Allah be pleased with him) informed us that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had prohibited it, so we abandoned this practice because of his statement.

Sayyiduna Rafi’ bin Khadij (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Among the Ansar, we had the most fields. When we used to give land to someone on contract, we would tell him,“You will get this part, and the produce of this part will be ours.”Sometimes there would be produce in this part and not in the other. So the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade us from this. As for giving land on contract in exchange for silver, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not forbid us from this. Sufyan was told: Imam Malik has narrated this report from Hanzalah, on the authority of Rabi’ah. He replied: When it can be obtained from Yahya, then there is no need for anyone else, because Yahya is more cautious, and we have preserved this narration after hearing it from Yahya.

Wasi‘ bin Hibban narrates: A slave stole a date palm sapling from a man’s garden and planted it in his master’s garden. He was caught and brought to Marwan bin Hakam. Marwan intended to have his hand cut off, but Sayyiduna Rafi‘ bin Khadij (may Allah be pleased with him) testified that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had said:“The hand is not to be cut off for stealing fruit or palm shoots.”So Marwan let the man go.

Abdul Karim says: The name of the person who committed theft was "Feel".

Sayyiduna Rafi' bin Khadij (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates this statement of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him): "Offer the Fajr prayer when it becomes bright, for it is a cause of greater reward." (The narrator is in doubt, perhaps these are the words:) "It is a cause of greater reward for you."

Sayyiduna Rafi‘ bin Khadij (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: We said,“O Messenger of Allah! Tomorrow we will face the enemy, and we do not have knives with us, so can we slaughter animals with the bark of a tree?”The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Whatever causes blood to flow, and you have mentioned Allah’s name upon it, eat of it, except that which is slaughtered with a tooth (i.e., bone) or a nail (the specific knife of the Abyssinians).”‘Tooth’ refers to a human bone, and ‘nail’ is the specific knife of the Abyssinians (these words are perhaps from the narrator).

Sayyiduna Rafi‘ bin Khadij (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: We acquired some camels and goats, so we considered one camel equal to ten goats. One of the camels became unruly and ran away, so we shot it with an arrow (to stop it). Then we asked the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) about this matter, and he said:“Some camels become wild like wild animals. When any of them becomes wild, then treat it in this manner, and eat it.”Sufyan says: In his narration, Isma‘il bin Muslim has reported these words:“We shot it with an arrow and brought it down to the ground.”

Sayyiduna Rafi‘ bin Khadij (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: On the occasion of the Battle of Hunayn, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave Abu Sufyan bin Harb, Safwan bin Umayyah, ‘Uyaynah bin Hisn, and Aqra‘ bin Habis one hundred camels each. He (peace be upon him) gave ‘Abbas bin Mirdas less than that. After this, the narrator Sufyan—or perhaps the narrator was ‘Amr bin Sa‘id—narrated these words in this narration: On this occasion, ‘Abbas bin Mirdas recited these verses:“Are you giving me and (my horse) ‘Ubayd a lesser share than ‘Uyaynah and Aqra‘, even though during the battle neither of them had any superiority over Mirdas in any respect? I am not of lesser status than either of them, and today, whoever’s status is diminished, then it will not be elevated again.”Sayyiduna Rafi‘ bin Khadij (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: So the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) also gave him a full hundred camels.
