حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ بْنِ مَيْسَرَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ يَعْلَى بْنِ حَكِيمٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّ رَافِعَ بْنَ خَدِيجٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ كُنَّا نُخَابِرُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَذَكَرَ أَنَّ بَعْضَ عُمُومَتِهِ أَتَاهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ أَمْرٍ كَانَ لَنَا نَافِعًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَطَوَاعِيَةُ اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ أَنْفَعُ لَنَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَأَنْفَعُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قُلْنَا:‏‏‏‏ وَمَا ذَاكَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ مَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ أَرْضٌ فَلْيَزْرَعْهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَوْ فَلْيُزْرِعْهَا أَخَاهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَلَا يُكَارِيهَا بِثُلُثٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَلَا بِرُبُعٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَلَا بِطَعَامٍ مُسَمًّى .

We used to employ people to till land for a share of it produce. He then maintained that, one of his uncles came to him and said: The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم forbade us from a work which beneficial to us. But obedience to Allah and His Messenger صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم is more beneficial to us. We asked: What is that ? He said: The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said: If anyone has land, he should cultivate it, or lend it to his brother for cultivation. He should not rent it for a third or a quarter (of the produce) or for specified among of produce.
