Sahih al-Bukhari 2250 (Book 41, Hadith 20)
said, “Whatever Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said was right.” He said, “Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) sent for me and asked,
‘What are you doing with your farms?’ I replied, ‘We give our farms on rent on the basis that we get
the yield produced at the banks of the water streams (rivers) for the rent, or rent it for some Wasqs of
barley and dates.’ Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, ‘Do not do so, but cultivate (the land) yourselves or let it be
cultivated by others gratis, or keep it uncultivated.’ I said, ‘We hear and obey.’
