It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: In the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), we used to give land on sharecropping, and sometimes after threshing the grain, we would get those grains that remained in the ears and could not be separated by threshing. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever has land, let him cultivate it himself or give it to his brother for cultivation, otherwise he should leave it as it is.
