Abu Hurairah (RA) reported Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as saying: He who has land should cultivate it or lend it to his brother, but if he refuses, he should retain his land.

Jabir bin'Abdullah (RA) reported: I heard Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) forbidding Muzabana, and Huqul. Jabir bin'Abdullah (RA) said: Muzabana means the selling of fruits for dry dates and Huqul is the renting of land.

Abu Hurairah (RA) reported Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) forbidding Muhaqala and Muzabana.

Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (RA) reported Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) having forbidden Mazabana and Muhaqala. Muzibana means the buying of fruits on the trees and Muhaqala is the renting of land.

Zaid bin Amr reported: I heard Ibn 'Umar (RA) say: We did not see any harm in renting of the land, but as the first year was over Rafi' alleged Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) having forbidden that.

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Amr bin Dinar with the same chain of transmitters but (in) the hadith transmitted on the authority of 'Uyainah (the words are):" We abandoned it (renting) on account of that."

Ibn 'Umar (RA) reported: Rafi forbade us from benefitting from our land (in the form of rent).

Nafi reported that Ibn 'Umar (RA) rented his land during the lifetime of Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) and during the caliphate of Abu Bakr (RA) and that of Umar and that of 'Uthman (RA) and during the early period of Muawiya's caliphate until at the end of Muawiya's reign, it reached him (Ibn 'Umar) that Rafi bin Khadij (RA) narratted (a hadith) in which (there was a decree) of prohibition by Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) . He (Ibn 'Umar) went to him (Rafi bin Khadij) and I was with him and he asked him, whereupon he said: Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) used to forbid the renting of land. So Ibn 'Umar (RA) abandoned it, and subsequently whenever he was asked about it, he said: Rafi bin Khadij (RA) alleged that Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) forbade it.

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Ayyub and he made an addition in the hadith narrated by Ibn Ulayya in which he said: Ibn 'Umar (RA) abandoned it afterwards and he did not rent it (the land).

Nafi reported: I went to Rafi bin Khadij in the company of Ibn 'Umar (All be pleased with them) until he (Ibn 'Umar) came to him at Balat (a place near Prophet's Mosque at Madinah) and he (Rafi bin Khadij) informed him that Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) had forbidden the renting of land.
