Sayyiduna Sa’d bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Previously, during the blessed time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), we used to lease out land on rent, stipulating that the produce from the part of the field near rainwater or canal water would go to the owner. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade us from this. He permitted us to lease out land in exchange for gold or silver.
