حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَامَلَ أَهْلَ خَيْبَرَ بِشَطْرِ مَا يَخْرُجُ مِنْهَا مِنْ ثَمَرٍ أَوْ زَرْعٍ . قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ أَنَسٍ وَابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ وَزَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ وَجَابِرٍ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ . وَالْعَمَلُ عَلَى هَذَا عِنْدَ بَعْضِ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَغَيْرِهِمْ لَمْ يَرَوْا بِالْمُزَارَعَةِ بَأْسًا عَلَى النِّصْفِ وَالثُّلُثِ وَالرُّبُعِ . وَاخْتَارَ بَعْضُهُمْ أَنْ يَكُونَ الْبَذْرُ مِنْ رَبِّ الأَرْضِ . وَهُوَ قَوْلُ أَحْمَدَ وَإِسْحَاقَ . وَكَرِهَ بَعْضُ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ الْمُزَارَعَةَ بِالثُّلُثِ وَالرُّبُعِ وَلَمْ يَرَوْا بِمُسَاقَاةِ النَّخِيلِ بِالثُّلُثِ وَالرُّبُعِ بَأْسًا . وَهُوَ قَوْلُ مَالِكِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ وَالشَّافِعِيِّ . وَلَمْ يَرَ بَعْضُهُمْ أَنْ يَصِحَّ شَيْءٌ مِنَ الْمُزَارَعَةِ إِلاَّ أَنْ يَسْتَأْجِرَ الأَرْضَ بِالذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةِ .

Ibn ʿUmar reported that the Prophet cultivated the land of Khaybar with its people in exchange for half of its fruit and crops. Reports on this subject are also narrated from Anas, Ibn ʿAbbās, Zayd ibn Thābit, and Jābir. Abū ʿĪsā said: This is a ḥasan ṣaḥīḥ hadith. Some scholars among the Prophet’s Companions and others permitted sharecropping on a half, third, or quarter basis. Some preferred that the landowner provide the seed; this is the view of Aḥmad and Isḥāq. Other scholars disapproved of crop-sharing on a third or quarter basis but permitted an orchard owner to share the date harvest on those terms; this is the view of Mālik ibn Anas and al-Shāfiʿī. Some held that crop-sharing is valid only when the land is rented for gold or silver.
