أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ عَمْرٍو - عَنْ عَبْدِ الْكَرِيمِ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، قَالَ أَخَذْتُ بِيَدِ طَاوُسٍ حَتَّى أَدْخَلْتُهُ عَلَى ابْنِ رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ فَحَدَّثَهُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنَّهُ نَهَى عَنْ كِرَاءِ الأَرْضِ . فَأَبَى طَاوُسٌ فَقَالَ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ لاَ يَرَى بِذَلِكَ بَأْسًا. وَرَوَاهُ أَبُو عَوَانَةَ عَنْ أَبِي حَصِينٍ عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ قَالَ قَالَ عَنْ رَافِعٍ مُرْسَلاً.
ʿAli ibn Hujr reported to us: ʿUbaydullah—meaning Ibn ʿAmr—informed us, from ʿAbd al-Karim, from Mujahid, who said: I took Tawus by the hand and brought him to the son of Rafiʿ ibn Khadij. He related to him from his father, from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, that he had forbidden renting out land. Tawus refused [to accept this] and said: “I heard Ibn ʿAbbas; he saw no harm in it.” Abu ʿAwanah also narrated it from Abu Husayn, from Mujahid, who attributed it to Rafiʿ in a mursal form.
