Sahih Muslim 1550d (Book 21, Hadith 159) #11084
The Benefits of Renting Out Land

SUMMARY: It is better to rent out land than to receive something definite in return.

Ibn Abbas (Allah be pleased with them) reported Allah's Apostle as saying: If one among you lets out land to his brother, that is better for him than if he receives such and such (the definite thing). Ibn 'Abbis (Allah be pleased with them) said: It is Haql, and in the parlance of the ansar it is Muhaqala.
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ، - قَالَ عَبْدٌ أَخْبَرَنَا وَقَالَ ابْنُ رَافِعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، - أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ طَاوُسٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ لأَنْ يَمْنَحَ أَحَدُكُمْ أَخَاهُ أَرْضَهُ خَيْرٌ لَهُ مِنْ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ عَلَيْهَا كَذَا وَكَذَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ لِشَىْءٍ مَعْلُومٍ ‏.‏ قَالَ وَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ هُوَ الْحَقْلُ وَهُوَ بِلِسَانِ الأَنْصَارِ الْمُحَاقَلَةُ.
