Sunan Ibn Majah: Book 16, Hadith 23

It was narrated that Hazalah bin Qais said: “I asked Rafi’ bin Khadij and he said: ‘We used to lease out land on the basis that you would have what is produced by this piece of land, and I would have what is produced by this (other) piece of land, and we were forbidden to lease it out on the basis of crop-sharing but he did not forbid us to rent out land for silver.”

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ حَنْظَلَةَ بْنِ قَيْسٍ، قَالَ سَأَلْتُ رَافِعَ بْنَ خَدِيجٍ قَالَ كُنَّا نُكْرِي الأَرْضَ عَلَى أَنَّ لَكَ مَا أَخْرَجَتْ هَذِهِ وَلِي مَا أَخْرَجَتْ هَذِهِ فَنُهِينَا أَنْ نُكْرِيَهَا بِمَا أَخْرَجَتْ وَلَمْ نُنْهَ أَنْ نُكْرِيَ الأَرْضَ بِالْوَرِقِ ‏.‏

Sunan Ibn Majah: Book 16, Hadith 23
Sahih (Darussalam)

 
The above hadith is from the Sunan Ibn Majah collection of hadiths. Sunan Ibn Majah is a foundational text, recognized as the sixth of the major hadith collections in Sunni Islam. The work of scholar Ibn Majah (d. 886 CE), it encompasses about 4,000 hadiths that provide guidance on a multitude of subjects. These subjects are crucial for Muslims and include the pillars of faith, the specifics of ritual observance, the development of personal ethics, and the navigation of social issues. The collection’s standing is one of respected importance with a caveat; it is typically viewed as containing a greater number of weak narrations than its five counterpart collections. This understanding necessitates a more critical approach from scholars, who still rely on it heavily for its breadth and content.
