Narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Dinar (may Allah be pleased with him) that we used to give land on sharecropping and did not feel any objection in it, until Sayyiduna Rafi’ bin Khadij (may Allah be pleased with him) expressed the opinion that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had prohibited it. Amr bin Dinar said: When I mentioned this matter before Tawus, he said that Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If any one of you gives his land to his brother as a gift, it is better for him than taking a fixed produce from the land.
