Arabic hadith text
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ الْجَحْدَرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ، عَنْ خَالِدٍ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، عَنْ طَاوُسٍ، أَنَّ مُعَاذَ بْنَ جَبَلٍ ، أَكْرَى الأَرْضَ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَأَبِي بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ وَعُثْمَانَ عَلَى الثُّلُثِ وَالرُّبُعِ فَهُوَ يَعْمَلُ بِهِ إِلَى يَوْمِكَ هَذَا .
Translation
Ahmad ibn Thabit al-Jahdari narrated to us: Abd al-Wahhab narrated to us, from Khalid, from Mujahid, from Tawus, that Muadh ibn Jabal rented land during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and of Abu Bakr, Umar, and Uthman for a third or a quarter of the yield, and this practice continued until your day.
