حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ، يَقُولُ كُنَّا نُخَابِرُ وَلاَ نَرَى بِذَلِكَ بَأْسًا حَتَّى سَمِعْنَا رَافِعَ بْنَ خَدِيجٍ يَقُولُ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَنْهُ . فَتَرَكْنَاهُ لِقَوْلِهِ .

Hisham ibn Ammar and Muhammad ibn al-Sabbah both narrated to us: Sufyan ibn Uyaynah narrated to us, from Amr ibn Dinar, who said: I heard Ibn Umar say, “We used to arrange sharecropping and saw no harm in it until we heard Rafi ibn Khadij say that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had forbidden it. So we stopped because of what he said.”
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The report is Ibn Umar recounting their prior practice and their cessation after hearing Rafi ibn Khadij report the Prophetic prohibition. The agricultural arrangement is rendered as sharecropping.
