حَدَّثَنِي إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو مُسْهِرٍ، حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ حَمْزَةَ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو عَمْرٍو الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِي النَّجَاشِيِّ، مَوْلَى رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ، عَنْ رَافِعٍ، أَنَّ ظُهَيْرَ بْنَ رَافِعٍ - وَهُوَ عَمُّهُ - قَالَ: أَتَانِي ظُهَيْرٌ، فَقَالَ: لَقَدْ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ أَمْرٍ كَانَ بِنَا رَافِقًا، فَقُلْتُ: وَمَا ذَاكَ؟ مَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَهُوَ حَقٌّ، قَالَ: سَأَلَنِي: «كَيْفَ تَصْنَعُونَ بِمَحَاقِلِكُمْ؟» فَقُلْتُ: نُؤَاجِرُهَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ عَلَى الرَّبِيعِ، أَوِ الْأَوْسُقِ مِنَ التَّمْرِ أَوِ الشَّعِيرِ، قَالَ: «فَلَا تَفْعَلُوا، ازْرَعُوهَا، أَوْ أَزْرِعُوهَا، أَوْ أَمْسِكُوهَا.

Zuhair bin Rafi رضی اللہ عنہ (who was his uncle) came to me and said: Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) forbade a practice which was useful for us. I said: What is this? (I believe) that whatever Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) says is absolutely true. He (Zuhair) said that he (the Holy Prophet) asked me: What do you do with your cultivable lands? I said: Allah's Messenger, we rent those irrigated by canals for dry dates or barley. He said: Don't do that. Cultivate them or let them be cultivated (by others) or retain them yourself.
