أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا خَالِدٌ، - هُوَ ابْنُ الْحَارِثِ - قَالَ قَرَأْتُ عَلَى عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ رَافِعِ بْنِ أُسَيْدِ بْنِ ظُهَيْرٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أُسَيْدِ بْنِ ظُهَيْرٍ أَنَّهُ خَرَجَ إِلَى قَوْمِهِ إِلَى بَنِي حَارِثَةَ فَقَالَ يَا بَنِي حَارِثَةَ لَقَدْ دَخَلَتْ عَلَيْكُمْ مُصِيبَةٌ. قَالُوا مَا هِيَ قَالَ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَنْ كِرَاءِ الأَرْضِ. قُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِذًا نُكْرِيهَا بِشَىْءٍ مِنَ الْحَبِّ. قَالَ " لاَ ". قَالَ وَكُنَّا نُكْرِيهَا بِالتِّبْنِ فَقَالَ " لاَ ". وَكُنَّا نُكْرِيهَا بِمَا عَلَى الرَّبِيعِ السَّاقِي قَالَ " لاَ ازْرَعْهَا أَوِ امْنَحْهَا أَخَاكَ " . خَالَفَهُ مُجَاهِدٌ.
Muhammad ibn Ibrahim reported to us: Khalid—meaning Ibn al-Harith—informed us: I read to ʿAbd al-Hamid ibn Jaʿfar, who said: My father informed me, from Rafiʿ ibn Usayd ibn Zuhayr, from his father, Usayd ibn Zuhayr, that he went to his people among Banu Harithah and said: “Banu Harithah, a calamity has befallen you.” They asked: “What is it?” He said: “The Messenger of Allah ﷺ has forbidden renting out land.” We said: “Messenger of Allah, then may we rent it for some grain?” He said: “No.” He said: “We used to rent it for straw, and he said: ‘No.’ We used to rent it for what grew along the irrigating watercourse. He said: ‘Cultivate it yourself or grant it to your brother.’” Mujahid disagreed with him.
