أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، عَنْ خَالِدٍ، - وَهُوَ ابْنُ الْحَارِثِ - قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَ رَافِعُ بْنُ خَدِيجٍ، قَالَ خَرَجَ إِلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَنَهَانَا عَنْ أَمْرٍ كَانَ لَنَا نَافِعًا فَقَالَ " مَنْ كَانَ لَهُ أَرْضٌ فَلْيَزْرَعْهَا أَوْ يَمْنَحْهَا أَوْ يَذَرْهَا ".
ʿAmr ibn ʿAli reported to us, from Khalid—meaning Ibn al-Harith—who said: Shuʿbah narrated to us, from ʿAbd al-Malik, from Mujahid, who said: Rafiʿ ibn Khadij narrated that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out to us and forbade us something that had benefited us. He said: ‘Whoever has land should cultivate it, grant it, or leave it.’
Translation notes
The report does not specify the land arrangement beyond its three alternatives.
