Narrated from Sayyiduna Rafi’ ibn Khadij (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 lease out land for a third or a quarter of the produce, or for a specified amount of grain. One of my uncles came to us and said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) has forbidden us from a practice that was beneficial for us, but in any case, obedience to Allah and His Messenger is more beneficial for us. He (peace and blessings be upon him) has forbidden us from leasing out land for a third or a quarter of the produce or for a specified amount of grain, and has instructed the owners of the land to either cultivate it themselves or give it to someone else to cultivate, and has disliked all other forms.
