A man seized his debtor who owed ten dinars to him. He said to him: I swear by
Allah, I shall not leave you until you pay off (my debt) to me or bring a
surety. The Prophet (ﷺ) stood as a surety for him.
He then brought as much (money) as he promised. The Prophet (ﷺ) asked: From

need of it; there is no good in it. Then the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) paid (the

I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: If any of you can become like the man
who had a faraq of rice, he should become like him. They (the people) asked: Who
is the man who had a faraq of rice with him, Messenger of Allah ? Thereupon he
narrated the story of the cave when a hillock fell on them (three persons), each
of them said: Mention any best work of yours. The narrator said: The third of
them said: O Allah, you know that I took a hireling for a faraq of rice. When
the evening came, I presented to him his due (i.e. his wages). But he refused to
take it and went away. I then cultivated it until I amassed cows and their
herdsmen for him. He then met me and said: Give me my dues. I said (to him): Go
to those cows and their herdsmen and take them all. He went and drove them away.

I heard Ibn Umar say: We did not see any harm in sharecropping till I heard
Rafi' ibn Khadij say: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) has forbidden it. So I
mentioned it to Tawus. He said: Ibn Abbas told me that the Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ) had not forbidden it, but said: It is better for one of you to lend to his
brother than to take a prescribed sum from him.

Ibn 'Umar used to let out his land till it reached him that Rafi' b. Khadij
al-Ansari narrated that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) forbade let out land. So 'Abd
Allah (b. 'Umar) said: Ibn Khadij, what do you narrate from the Messenger of
Allah (ﷺ) about leasing the land? Rafi' replied to 'Abd Allah b. 'Umar: I heard
both of my uncles were present in the battle of Badr say, and they narrated it
to the members of the family, that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) forbade leasing
land. 'Abd Allah said: I swear by Allah, I knew that land was leased in the time
of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). 'Abd Allah then feared that the Messenger of
Allah (ﷺ) might have created something new in that matter, so he gave up leasing
land.
Abu Dawud said: This tradition has also been transmitted by Ayyub, 'Ubaid Allah,
Kathir b. Farqad, Malik from Nafi' on the authority of Rafi' from the Prophet
(ﷺ). It has also been transmitted by al-Auzai' from Hafs b. 'Inan al-Hanafi from
Nafi' from Rafi' who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: Similarly, it
has been transmitted by Zaid b. Abi Unaisah from al-Hakkam from Nafi' from Ibn
'Umar that he went to Rafi' and asked: Have you heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
say? He replied: Yes. Similarly, it has also been transmitted by 'Ikrimah b.
'Ammar from Abu al-Najashi, from Rafi' b. Khadij who said: I heard the Prophet
(ﷺ) say. It has also been transmitted by al-Auza'i from Abu al-Najashi from
Rafi' b. Khadij from his uncle Zuhair b. Rafi' from the Prophet (ﷺ).
Abu Dawud said: The name of Abu al-Najashi is 'Ata b. Suhaib.

The Prophet (ﷺ) used to send Abdullah ibn Rawahah (to Khaybar), and he would
assess the amount of dates when they began to ripen before they were eaten (by
the Jews). He would then give choice to the Jews that they have them (on their
possession) by that assessment or could assign to them (Muslims) by that
assignment, so that the (amount of) zakat could be calculated before the fruit
became eatable and distributed (among the people).
