Sunan Abi Dawud 3399 (Book 23, Hadith 74) #23689
Fair Wages for Work Done

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad's advice to not take advantage of someone else's work without giving them their due wages.

AbuJa'far al-Khatmi said: My uncle sent me and his slave to Sa'id ibn al-Musayyab. We said to him, there is something which has reached us about sharecropping. He replied: Ibn Umar did not see any harm in it until a tradition reached him from Rafi' ibn Khadij. He then came to him and Rafi' told him that the Messenger of Allah came to Banu Harithah and saw crop in the land of Zuhyr. He said: What an excellent crop of Zuhyr is! They said: It does not belong to Zuhyr. He asked: Is this not the land of Zuhyr? They said: Yes, but the crop belongs to so-and-so. He said: Take your crop and give him the wages. Rafi' said: We took our crop and gave him the wages. Sa'id (ibn al-Musayyab) said: Lend your brother or employ him for Dirhams.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ الْخَطْمِيُّ، قَالَ بَعَثَنِي عَمِّي أَنَا وَغُلاَمًا، لَهُ إِلَى سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ قَالَ فَقُلْنَا لَهُ شَىْءٌ بَلَغَنَا عَنْكَ فِي الْمُزَارَعَةِ ‏.‏ قَالَ كَانَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ لاَ يَرَى بِهَا بَأْسًا حَتَّى بَلَغَهُ عَنْ رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ حَدِيثٌ فَأَتَاهُ فَأَخْبَرَهُ رَافِعٌ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَتَى بَنِي حَارِثَةَ فَرَأَى زَرْعًا فِي أَرْضِ ظُهَيْرٍ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ مَا أَحْسَنَ زَرْعَ ظُهَيْرٍ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالُوا لَيْسَ لِظُهَيْرٍ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ أَلَيْسَ أَرْضُ ظُهَيْرٍ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالُوا بَلَى وَلَكِنَّهُ زَرْعُ فُلاَنٍ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ فَخُذُوا زَرْعَكُمْ وَرُدُّوا عَلَيْهِ النَّفَقَةَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ رَافِعٌ فَأَخَذْنَا زَرْعَنَا وَرَدَدْنَا إِلَيْهِ النَّفَقَةَ ‏.‏ قَالَ سَعِيدٌ أَفْقِرْ أَخَاكَ أَوْ أَكْرِهِ بِالدَّرَاهِمِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad's advice on how to treat people fairly when it comes to work done. In this particular case, he was talking about sharecropping which is a type of farming where a landowner allows someone else to use their land in exchange for a portion of the crop produced from that land. The Prophet Muhammad saw some people taking advantage of another person by taking his crop without giving him his due wages and he advised them to take their crop but also give him his wages as well. He also advised them to lend money or employ the person if they could not pay him right away. This hadith teaches us that we should always be fair when it comes to paying people for work done and not take advantage of others who are in need or less fortunate than us. We should always make sure that everyone gets what they deserve and are treated with respect and kindness regardless of their social status or financial situation.
