Sunan Abi Dawud 3391 (Book 23, Hadith 66) #23681
Leasing Land for Gold or Silver

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) forbade leasing land for what grew by the streamlets and commanded to lease it for gold or silver.

Narrated Sa'd: We used to lease land for what grew by the streamlets and for what was watered from them. The Messenger of Allah forbade us to do that, and commanded us to lease if for gold or silver.
حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، أَخْبَرَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِكْرِمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَبِيبَةَ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ، عَنْ سَعْدٍ، قَالَ كُنَّا نُكْرِي الأَرْضَ بِمَا عَلَى السَّوَاقِي مِنَ الزَّرْعِ وَمَا سَعِدَ بِالْمَاءِ مِنْهَا فَنَهَانَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ عَنْ ذَلِكَ وَأَمَرَنَا أَنْ نُكْرِيَهَا بِذَهَبٍ أَوْ فِضَّةٍ

QUICK LESSONS:
Treat others fairly when leasing land; Lease land with gold or silver; Be honest in all your dealings; Strive for fairness in all transactions.

EXPLANATIONS:
The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught us that when leasing land, it should be done with gold or silver instead of what grows by the streamlets. This is because gold and silver are more reliable forms of payment than crops which can be affected by weather conditions. He also taught us that we should not take advantage of people who are in need and instead treat them fairly. This hadith teaches us to be honest in our dealings with others and to always strive for fairness in all our transactions.
