أَخْبَرَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَمْزَةَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي الأَوْزَاعِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِي النَّجَاشِيِّ، عَنْ رَافِعٍ، قَالَ أَتَانَا ظُهَيْرُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ فَقَالَ نَهَانِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَنْ أَمْرٍ كَانَ لَنَا رَافِقًا. قُلْتُ وَمَا ذَاكَ قَالَ أَمْرُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَهُوَ حَقٌّ سَأَلَنِي " كَيْفَ تَصْنَعُونَ فِي مَحَاقِلِكُمْ ". قُلْتُ نُؤَاجِرُهَا عَلَى الرُّبُعِ وَالأَوْسَاقِ مِنَ التَّمْرِ أَوِ الشَّعِيرِ. قَالَ " فَلاَ تَفْعَلُوا ازْرَعُوهَا أَوْ أَزْرِعُوهَا أَوْ أَمْسِكُوهَا " . رَوَاهُ بُكَيْرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الأَشَجِّ عَنْ أُسَيْدِ بْنِ رَافِعٍ فَجَعَلَ الرِّوَايَةَ لأَخِي رَافِعٍ.
Hisham ibn ʿAmmar reported to us: Yahya ibn Hamzah narrated to us: al-Awzaʿi narrated to me, from Abu al-Najashi, from Rafiʿ, who said: Zuhayr ibn Rafiʿ came to us and said: “The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade me something that had been beneficial to us.” I asked: “What was that?” He said: “The Messenger of Allah’s command is true. He asked me: ‘What do you do with your fields?’ I said: ‘We lease them for a quarter or for measured quantities of dates or barley.’ He said: ‘Do not do that. Cultivate them, have them cultivated, or keep them.’” Bukayr ibn ʿAbdullah ibn al-Ashajj narrated it from Usayd ibn Rafiʿ, making the narrator Rafiʿ’s brother.
Translation notes
The report preserves a variant identifying Usayd ibn Rafiʿ, rather than Rafiʿ, as the narrator. A wasq is a traditional measure.
