It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade renting out land. When someone mentioned this to Sayyiduna Ibn Umar, a man present in that gathering said, "I myself have seen the son of Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) taking land on sharecropping." Sayyiduna Ibn Umar said, "Look at him—his father is narrating this hadith from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that the Prophet forbade renting out land, and he goes about doing this kind of thing."
