Yahya narrates that I asked Hazrat Saeed bin Al-Musayyib, "I have an orphan with me who also owns land. What should I do?" He replied, "If you want to lease out the land, then give it for dirhams and dinars in exchange."

It was asked from Hazrat Saeed bin Jubair (may Allah have mercy on him) about giving land on rent? He replied: There is no harm in it.

It is narrated from Hazrat Rafi' bin Khadij (may Allah be pleased with him) in a marfu' form that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Whoever cultivates someone else's land without his permission, he will have no share in the produce. His expenses (cost) will be returned to him.

Hazrat Hasan bin Muhammad narrates that the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him) once passed by a lush green land. He inquired about this land, and people submitted that one person had cultivated another’s land without permission. He ordered that it be returned and instructed that the expenses (costs) be taken back.

Hazrat Abu Ja'far, may Allah have mercy on him, says that my uncle sent me and another boy to Hazrat Sa'id bin al-Musayyib. He asked him, "What do you say regarding sharecropping (muzara'ah)?" He replied: "Hazrat Ibn 'Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both, did not see any harm in it, until the following hadith was narrated to him from Rafi' bin Khadij: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, came to Banu Harithah and saw the land of Zuhayr, and said, 'How excellent and good is the cultivation of Zuhayr!' The people said, 'This is not Zuhayr's.' The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, asked, 'Is this not Zuhayr's land?' The people replied, 'Yes, but so-and-so has cultivated it (without permission).' He said, 'Return to him his expenses (costs), and you take back your cultivation.' Hazrat Rafi' says, 'We returned his expenses to him and took back the cultivation.' Hazrat Sa'id says, 'Give your brother the land as a loan for cultivation, or else rent it out to him for silver.'"

23901 - Sa'id said: "(Make poor) (1) (your brother) (2) or force with silver."

Hazrat Shurayh says that the testimony of a Jew and a Christian is permissible only in travel and in matters of will.

It is narrated from Hazrat Sha'bi that a man from the tribe of Khath'am passed away at the place of Daqouqa. He appointed only two Christians as witnesses to his will. After Asr prayer, Abu Musa made both of them swear with these words: "By God! We have not committed any dishonesty, nor have we concealed it, nor have we altered it. Indeed, this is the will." Then he accepted the testimony of those two Christians.

Hazrat Ubaidah, regarding the verse of the Holy Qur'an { أَوْ آخَرَانِ مِنْ غَیْرِکُمْ }, states that the People of the Book are meant.

Ibrahim says that by { أَوْ آخَرَانِ مِنْ غَیْرِکُمْ } is meant people other than your religion.
