Sahih Muslim 1547d (Book 21, Hadith 137) #11062
Prohibition of Renting Land

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the prohibition of renting land by Allah's Messenger ﷺ and how Ibn Umar (Allah be pleased with them) followed this decree.

Nafi reported that Ibn Umar (Allah be pleased with them) rented his land during the lifetime of Allah's Messenger and during the caliphate of Abu Bakr and that of Umar and that of Uthman (Allah be pleased with them) and during the early period of Muawiya's caliphate until at the end of Muawiya's reign, it reached him (Ibn 'Umar) that Rafi b. Khadij (Allah be pleased with him) narratted in which (there was a decree) of prohibition by Allah's Apostle . He (Ibn 'Umar) went to him (Rafi b. Khadij) and I was with him and he asked him, whereupon he said: Allah's Messenger used to forbid the renting of land. So Ibn Umar (Allah be pleased with them) abandoned it, and subsequently whenever he was asked about it, he said: Rafi b. Khadij (Allah be pleased with him) alleged that Allah's Messenger forbade it.
وَحَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، أَخْبَرَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، أَنَّ ابْنَ عُمَرَ، كَانَ يُكْرِي مَزَارِعَهُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ وَفِي إِمَارَةِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ وَعُثْمَانَ وَصَدْرًا مِنْ خِلاَفَةِ مُعَاوِيَةَ حَتَّى بَلَغَهُ فِي آخِرِ خِلاَفَةِ مُعَاوِيَةَ أَنَّ رَافِعَ بْنَ خَدِيجٍ يُحَدِّثُ فِيهَا بِنَهْىٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ وَأَنَا مَعَهُ فَسَأَلَهُ فَقَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ يَنْهَى عَنْ كِرَاءِ الْمَزَارِعِ ‏.‏ فَتَرَكَهَا ابْنُ عُمَرَ بَعْدُ ‏.‏ وَكَانَ إِذَا سُئِلَ عَنْهَا بَعْدُ قَالَ زَعَمَ رَافِعُ بْنُ خَدِيجٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ نَهَى عَنْهَا

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the prohibition of renting land by Allah's Messenger. It was reported by Nafi that Ibn Umar rented his land during the lifetime of Allah's Messenger, Abu Bakr, Umar, and Uthman until Muawiya's caliphate when it reached him that Rafi b. Khadij narrated a hadith in which there was a decree of prohibition from Allah's Apostle. Upon hearing this, Ibn Umar abandoned renting his land and whenever he was asked about it he said that Rafi b. Khadij alleged that Allah's Messenger forbade it. This teaches us to follow the decrees set forth by Prophet Muhammad ﷺ as they are for our own benefit even if we don't understand why they were set in place at first. We should also be mindful to not rent out our lands as it is prohibited according to Islamic teachings.
