English

[3944] 112 – ( … ) Sâlim bin 'Abdullâh narrated that 'Abdullâh bin 'Umar used to lease out his land, until he heard that Râfi' bin I1adIj A]-AnârI forbade leasing out land. 'Abdullâh met him and said: "0 Ibn Khadij, what are you narrating from the Messenger of Allah about leasing out land?" Râfi' bin iShadIj said to 'Abdullâh: "I heard my two paternal uncles, who had been present at (the battle of) Badr, narrating to the family, that the Messenger of Allah forbade leasing out land." 'Abdullâh said: "At the time of the Messenger of Allah I knew that land could be leased out." Then 'Abdullâh was afraid that the Messenger of Allah had said something new that he did not know of, so he stopped leasing out land. Chapter 18. Leasing Out Land (Kira) In Return For Food
