Sunan an-Nasa’i: Book 35b, Hadith 33
It was narrated that Abu Ja’far Al-Khatmi – whose name was ‘Umair bin Yazid – said: “My paternal uncle sent me with a slave of his, to Sa’eed bin Al-Musayyab to ask him about Al-Muzara’ah. He said: ‘Ibn ‘Umar did not see anything wrong with it, until he heard the Hadith from Rafi’ bin Khadij. Then he met him, and Rafi’ said: “The Prophet came to Banu Harithah and saw some crops. He said: ‘How good are the crops of Zubair.’ They said: ‘It is not Zubair’s.’ He said: ‘Is the land not Zubair’s?’ They said: ‘No (it is not his), rather he is leasing it.’ The Messenger of Allah said: ‘Take your crops and give him what he spent.’ So we took our crops, and gave him what he had spent.”
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ الْخَطْمِيِّ، – وَاسْمُهُ عُمَيْرُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ – قَالَ أَرْسَلَنِي عَمِّي وَغُلاَمًا لَهُ إِلَى سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ أَسْأَلُهُ عَنِ الْمُزَارَعَةِ فَقَالَ كَانَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ لاَ يَرَى بِهَا بَأْسًا حَتَّى بَلَغَهُ عَنْ رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ حَدِيثٌ فَلَقِيَهُ فَقَالَ رَافِعٌ أَتَى النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بَنِي حَارِثَةَ فَرَأَى زَرْعًا فَقَالَ ” مَا أَحْسَنَ زَرْعَ ظُهَيْرٍ ”. فَقَالُوا لَيْسَ لِظُهَيْرٍ. فَقَالَ ” أَلَيْسَ أَرْضُ ظُهَيْرٍ ”. قَالُوا بَلَى وَلَكِنَّهُ أَزْرَعَهَا. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ” خُذُوا زَرْعَكُمْ وَرُدُّوا إِلَيْهِ نَفَقَتَهُ ”. قَالَ فَأَخَذْنَا زَرْعَنَا وَرَدَدْنَا إِلَيْهِ نَفَقَتَهُ. وَرَوَاهُ طَارِقُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ سَعِيدٍ وَاخْتُلِفَ عَلَيْهِ فِيهِ.
