Sahih al-Bukhari 2345 (Book 41, Hadith 24) #2245
Uncertainty of Renting Land

SUMMARY: Ibn Umar was uncertain if the Prophet (ﷺ) had forbidden renting land for cultivation, so he decided to give up renting his land.

Narrated Salim: 'Abdullah bin 'Umar said, "I knew that the land was rented for cultivation in the lifetime of Allah's Apostle ". Later on Ibn 'Umar was afraid that the Prophet had forbidden it, and he had no knowledge of it, so he gave up renting his land.
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ عُقَيْلٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي سَالِمٌ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ كُنْتُ أَعْلَمُ فِي عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ أَنَّ الأَرْضَ تُكْرَى‏.‏ ثُمَّ خَشِيَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ أَنْ يَكُونَ النَّبِيُّ قَدْ أَحْدَثَ فِي ذَلِكَ شَيْئًا لَمْ يَكُنْ يَعْلَمُهُ، فَتَرَكَ كِرَاءَ الأَرْضِ‏.‏
