Arabic hadith text
أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " مَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ أَرْضٌ فَلْيَزْرَعْهَا أَوْ لِيَمْنَحْهَا أَخَاهُ وَلاَ يُكْرِيهَا " . تَابَعَهُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو الأَوْزَاعِيُّ.
Translation
ʿAmr ibn ʿAli reported to us: Yahya narrated to us: ʿAbd al-Malik narrated to us, from ʿAtaʾ, from Jabir, who said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ‘Whoever has land should cultivate it or grant it to his brother, and he should not rent it out.’ ʿAbd al-Rahman ibn ʿAmr al-Awzaʿi corroborated him.
