Sahih al-Bukhari 2342 (Book 41, Hadith 22) #2243
Giving Land Gratis

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) encouraged people to give land to their brothers for free instead of charging a certain amount for it.

Narrated 'Amr: When I mentioned it (ie the narration of Rafi' 'bin Khadij: #532) to Tawus, he said, "It is permissible to rent the land for cultivation, for Ibn 'Abbas said, 'The Prophet did not forbid that, but said: One had better give the land to one's brother gratis rather than charge a certain amount for it'. "
حَدَّثَنَا قَبِيصَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو، قَالَ ذَكَرْتُهُ لِطَاوُسٍ فَقَالَ يُزْرِعُ، قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ لَمْ يَنْهَ عَنْهُ وَلَكِنْ قَالَ ‏ "‏ أَنْ يَمْنَحَ أَحَدُكُمْ أَخَاهُ خَيْرٌ لَهُ مِنْ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ شَيْئًا مَعْلُومًا

This hadith is about the importance of giving land away gratis.

Ibn Abbas also said that the Prophet did not forbid this but rather encouraged people to give their land away gratis instead of charging a certain amount for it. This hadith teaches us the importance of generosity and kindness towards our brothers and sisters in faith. It encourages us to be generous with our resources and not be too attached or greedy with them as we are only temporary custodians on earth. We should use our resources in ways that will benefit others and bring us closer together as believers in Allah's path.
