It is narrated from Imam Nafi that Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: I know that in the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), lands were leased out for a certain amount of crops and fodder that grew near small canals, but I do not know how much the amount of fodder was. And Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) used to lease out his land during the times of Sayyiduna Abu Bakr, Sayyiduna Umar, and Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with them) and at the beginning of the era of Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him). When the later period of Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) was ongoing, he received the information that Sayyiduna Rafi (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade leasing land in this manner. So he went to him, and I, Nafi, was also with him, and he asked him about this hadith. He said: Yes, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade leasing fields. After that, Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) abandoned this practice and stopped leasing out land. Then, when he was asked about this, he would say: Sayyiduna Rafi bin Khadij (may Allah be pleased with him) believes that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade leasing fields.
