أَخْبَرَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعْدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عَمِّي، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ لَبِيبَةَ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ، قَالَ كَانَ أَصْحَابُ الْمَزَارِعِ يُكْرُونَ فِي زَمَانِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم مَزَارِعَهُمْ بِمَا يَكُونُ عَلَى السَّاقِي مِنَ الزَّرْعِ فَجَاءُوا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَاخْتَصَمُوا فِي بَعْضِ ذَلِكَ فَنَهَاهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنْ يُكْرُوا بِذَلِكَ وَقَالَ " أَكْرُوا بِالذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةِ " . وَقَدْ رَوَى هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ سُلَيْمَانُ عَنْ رَافِعٍ فَقَالَ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ عُمُومَتِهِ.
ʿUbaydullah ibn Saʿd ibn Ibrahim reported to us: My paternal uncle narrated to me: My father narrated to us, from Muhammad ibn ʿIkrimah, from Muhammad ibn ʿAbd al-Rahman ibn Labibah, from Saʿid ibn al-Musayyib, from Saʿd ibn Abi Waqqas, who said: The owners of farms in the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to lease their fields for the crop that grew along the irrigating watercourse. They came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and disputed some of these arrangements, so he forbade them to lease land on that basis and said: “Lease it for gold or silver.” Sulayman also narrated this hadith from Rafiʿ, saying it was from one of his paternal uncles.
Translation notes
The source describes rent paid from a specified part of the crop along the watercourse and preserves an alternate chain through Rafiʿ.
