Sunan Ibn Majah 2459 (Book 16, Hadith 24) #31811
Cultivating Farms Instead of Renting Them Out

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) advised against renting out farms for a third or quarter of their yield, and instead suggested to cultivate them or let others cultivate them.

Rafi'bin Khadi'j narrated that his paternal uncle Zuhair said: "The Messenger of Allah forbade us from doing something that was convenient for us". I said: "What the Messenger of Allah said is true". He said that the Messenger of Allah said: "What do you with your farms?" We said: "We rent them out for one third or one quarter of their yield, and a certain amount of wheat and barley". He said: "Do not do that; cultivate them or let others cultivate them".
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الأَوْزَاعِيُّ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو النَّجَاشِيِّ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَافِعَ بْنَ خَدِيجٍ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ عَمِّهِ، ظُهَيْرٍ قَالَ نَهَانَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَمْرٍ كَانَ لَنَا رَافِقًا ‏.‏ فَقُلْتُ مَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ فَهُوَ حَقٌّ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ مَا تَصْنَعُونَ بِمَحَاقِلِكُمْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قُلْنَا نُؤَاجِرُهَا عَلَى الثُّلُثِ وَالرُّبُعِ وَالأَوْسُقِ مِنَ الْبُرِّ وَالشَّعِيرِ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ فَلاَ تَفْعَلُوا ازْرَعُوهَا أَوْ أَزْرِعُوهَا
