أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الأَحْوَصِ، عَنْ طَارِقٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ، عَنْ رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ، قَالَ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَنِ الْمُحَاقَلَةِ وَالْمُزَابَنَةِ وَقَالَ " إِنَّمَا يَزْرَعُ ثَلاَثَةٌ رَجُلٌ لَهُ أَرْضٌ فَهُوَ يَزْرَعُهَا أَوْ رَجُلٌ مُنِحَ أَرْضًا فَهُوَ يَزْرَعُ مَا مُنِحَ أَوْ رَجُلٌ اسْتَكْرَى أَرْضًا بِذَهَبٍ أَوْ فِضَّةٍ " . مَيَّزَهُ إِسْرَائِيلُ عَنْ طَارِقٍ فَأَرْسَلَ الْكَلاَمَ الأَوَّلَ وَجَعَلَ الأَخِيرَ مِنْ قَوْلِ سَعِيدٍ
Qutaybah reported to us: Abu al-Ahwas narrated to us, from Tariq, from Saʿid ibn al-Musayyib, from Rafiʿ ibn Khadij, who said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade muhaqalah and muzabanah and said: “Only three kinds of people cultivate land: a man who owns land and cultivates it; a man who is granted land and cultivates what was granted to him; and a man who rents land for gold or silver.” Israʾil distinguished this report from Tariq’s version: he transmitted the first statement as mursal and treated the final words as Saʿid’s own statement.
Translation notes
The source records a variant attribution: Israʾil makes the initial prohibition mursal and attributes the final statement to Saʿid.
