Arabic hadith text
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْمُبَارَكِ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا وَكِيعٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ، يَقُولُ كُنَّا نُخَابِرُ وَلاَ نَرَى بِذَلِكَ بَأْسًا حَتَّى زَعَمَ رَافِعُ بْنُ خَدِيجٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم نَهَى عَنِ الْمُخَابَرَةِ.
Translation
Muhammad ibn ʿAbdullah ibn al-Mubarak reported to us: Wakiʿ informed us: Sufyan narrated to us, from ʿAmr ibn Dinar, who said: I heard Ibn ʿUmar say: ‘We used to practice mukhabarah and saw no harm in it, until Rafiʿ ibn Khadij claimed that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had forbidden mukhabarah.’
Translation notes
Mukhabarah is a form of crop-sharing or land sharecropping.
