Abdullah bin Sa’ib said: I asked Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mughaffal (may Allah be pleased with him) about sharecropping, so he said: Sayyiduna Thabit bin Dhahhak Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) told me that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade sharecropping (i.e., giving land on a share of the produce). The narrator asked Imam Darimi (may Allah have mercy on him): Do you also say the same? He replied: No, I follow the first opinion.
