Sunan Ibn Majah 2449 (Book 16, Hadith 14) #31801
Cultivating Land According to the Prophet Muhammad

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) forbade Muhaqalah and Muzabanah and stated that only three people are allowed to cultivate land.

It was narrated that Rafi 'bin Khadji said: "The Messenger of Allah forbade Muhaqalah and Muzabanah, and said: 'Only three may cultivate: A man who has land which he cultivates a man who was given some land and cultivates what he was given; and a man who takes land on lease for gold or silver'. "
حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الأَحْوَصِ، عَنْ طَارِقِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ، عَنْ رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ، قَالَ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ عَنِ الْمُحَاقَلَةِ وَالْمُزَابَنَةِ ‏.‏ وَقَالَ ‏ "‏ إِنَّمَا يَزْرَعُ ثَلاَثَةٌ رَجُلٌ لَهُ أَرْضٌ فَهُوَ يَزْرَعُهَا وَرَجُلٌ مُنِحَ أَرْضًا فَهُوَ يَزْرَعُ مَا مُنِحَ وَرَجُلٌ اسْتَكْرَى أَرْضًا بِذَهَبٍ أَوْ فِضَّةٍ

EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith narrated by Rafi 'bin Khadji states that the Prophet Muhammad forbade two practices, Muhaqalah and Muzabanah, which were related to cultivating land. He then went on to explain that only three types of people are allowed to cultivate land; a person who owns it, a person who was given some land as a gift, or someone who takes it on lease for gold or silver. This hadith teaches us about the importance of respecting other people's property rights and not taking advantage of them in any way. It also encourages us to be honest in our dealings with others when it comes to money matters. Furthermore, this hadith reminds us of the importance of being generous with those less fortunate than ourselves by giving them access to resources such as land so they can make an honest living for themselves.
