حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ الْخَطْمِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ بَعَثَنِي عَمِّي أَنَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَغُلَامًا لَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏إِلَى سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَقُلْنَا لَهُ شَيْءٌ بَلَغَنَا عَنْكَ فِي الْمُزَارَعَةِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ كَانَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ لَا يَرَى بِهَا بَأْسًا حَتَّى بَلَغَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ حَدِيثٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَتَاهُ فَأَخْبَرَهُ رَافِعٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّ ّرَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَتَى بَنِي حَارِثَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَرَأَى زَرْعًا فِي أَرْضِ ظُهَيْرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ مَا أَحْسَنَ زَرْعَ ظُهَيْرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالُوا:‏‏‏‏ لَيْسَ لِظُهَيْرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَلَيْسَ أَرْضُ ظُهَيْرٍ ؟، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالُوا:‏‏‏‏ بَلَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَلَكِنَّهُ زَرْعُ فُلَانٍ. قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَخُذُوا زَرْعَكُمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَرُدُّوا عَلَيْهِ النَّفَقَةَ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ رَافِعٌ:‏‏‏‏ فَأَخَذْنَا زَرْعَنَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَرَدَدْنَا إِلَيْهِ النَّفَقَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ سَعِيدٌ:‏‏‏‏ أَفْقِرْ أَخَاكَ أَوْ أَكْرِهِ بِالدَّرَاهِمِ .

My uncle sent me and his slave to Saeed ibn al-Musayyab. We said to him, there is something which has reached us about sharecropping. He replied: Ibn Umar رضی اللہ عنہما did not see any harm in it until a tradition reached him from Rafi bin Khadij رضی اللہ عنہ . He then came to him and Rafi told him that the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم came to Banu Harithah and saw crop in the land of Zuhayr. He said: What an excellent crop of Zuhayr is! They said: It does not belong to Zuhayr. He asked: Is this not the land of Zuhayr? They said: Yes, but the crop belongs to so-and-so. He said: Take your crop and give him the wages. Rafi رضی اللہ عنہ said: We took our crop and gave him the wages. Saeed (Ibn al-Musayyab) said: Lend your brother or employ him for dirhams.
