أَخْبَرَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أُسَيْدُ بْنُ رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَافِعُ بْنُ خَدِيجٍ نَهَاكُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَنْ أَمْرٍ كَانَ لَنَا نَافِعًا وَطَاعَةُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنْفَعُ لَنَا قَالَ " مَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ أَرْضٌ فَلْيَزْرَعْهَا فَإِنْ عَجَزَ عَنْهَا فَلْيُزْرِعْهَا أَخَاهُ " . خَالَفَهُ عَبْدُ الْكَرِيمِ بْنُ مَالِكٍ.
Ibrahim ibn Yaʿqub ibn Ishaq informed me: ʿAffan narrated to us: ʿAbd al-Wahid narrated to us: Saʿid ibn ʿAbd al-Rahman narrated to us, from Mujahid, who said: Usayd ibn Rafiʿ ibn Khadij narrated to me that Rafiʿ ibn Khadij said: “The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade you something that had benefited us, but obedience to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ is more beneficial for us.” He said: “Whoever has land should cultivate it; if he is unable to, he should have his brother cultivate it.” ʿAbd al-Karim ibn Malik differed from him.
