أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي حَصِينٍ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَافِعُ بْنُ خَدِيجٍ نَهَانَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَنْ أَمْرٍ كَانَ لَنَا نَافِعًا وَأَمْرُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَلَى الرَّأْسِ وَالْعَيْنِ نَهَانَا أَنْ نَتَقَبَّلَ الأَرْضَ بِبَعْضِ خَرْجِهَا . تَابَعَهُ إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُهَاجِرٍ.
Qutaybah reported to us: Abu ʿAwanah narrated to us, from Abu Husayn, from Mujahid, who said: Rafiʿ ibn Khadij said: “The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade us something that had benefited us, and the Messenger of Allah’s command is accepted wholeheartedly. He forbade us from taking land on lease in exchange for a portion of its produce.” Ibrahim ibn Muhajir corroborated him.
Translation notes
The Arabic idiom “upon the head and eye” expresses wholehearted acceptance.
