Volume 3, Book 39, Number 531:
Narrated Ibn ‘Umar:
Umar expelled the Jews and the Christians from Hijaz. When Allah’s Apostle had conquered
Khaibar, he wanted to expel the Jews from it as its land became the property of Allah, His Apostle,
and the Muslims. Allah’s Apostle intended to expel the Jews but they requested him to let them stay
there on the condition that they would do the labor and get half of the fruits. Allah’s Apostle told
them, “We will let you stay on thus condition, as long as we wish.” So, they (i.e. Jews) kept on living
there until ‘Umar forced them to go towards Taima’ and Ariha’.
Volume 3, Book 39, Number 532:
Narrated Rafi bin Khadij:
My uncle Zuhair said, “Allah’s Apostle forbade us to do a thing which was a source of help to us.” I
said, “Whatever Allah’s Apostle said was right.” He said, “Allah’s Apostle sent for me and asked, ‘What
are you doing with your farms?’ I replied, ‘We give our farms on rent on the basis that we get the
yield produced at the banks of the water streams (rivers) for the rent, or rent it for some Wasqs of
barley and dates.’ Allah’s Apostle said, ‘Do not do so, but cultivate (the land) yourselves or let it be
cultivated by others gratis, or keep it uncultivated.’ I said, ‘We hear and obey.’

The Prophet said, “He who cultivates land that does not belong to anybody is more rightful (to own
it).” ‘Urwa said, “Umar gave the same verdict in his Caliphate.”
Volume 3, Book 39, Number 529:
Narrated ‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar:
While the Prophet was passing the night at his place of rest in Dhul-Hulaifa in the bottom of the
valley (of Aqiq), he saw a dream and it was said to him, “You are in a blessed valley.” Musa said,
“Salim let our camels kneel at the place where ‘Abdullah used to make his camel kneel, seeking the
place where Allah’s Apostle used to take a rest, which is situated below the mosque which is in the
bottom of the valley; it is midway between the mosque and the road.”
Volume 3, Book 39, Number 530:
Narrated ‘Umar:
While the Prophet was in Al-‘Aqiq he said, “Someone (meaning Gabriel) came to me from my Lord
tonight (in my dream) and said, ‘Offer the prayer in this blessed valley and say (I intend to perform)
Umra along with Hajj (together).’ “
Volume 3, Book 39, Number 523:
Narrated ‘Amr:
I said to Tawus, “I wish you would give up Mukhabara (Share-cropping), for the people say that
the Prophet forbade it.” On that Tawus replied, “O ‘Amr! I give the land to share-croppers and help
them. No doubt; the most learned man, namely Ibn ‘Abbas told me that the Prophet had not forbid –
den it but said, ‘It is more beneficial for one to give his land free to one’s brother than to charge him
a fixed rental.”

Narrated Ibn ‘Umar:

tivate it, and be given half of its yield.

Narrated Rafi:
Volume 3 – 527 / 1700
SAHIH BUKHARI VOLUME 3 > BOOK 39: AGRICULTURE
We worked on farms more than anybody else in Medina. We used to rent the land and say to the
owner, “The yield of this portion is for us and the yield of that portion is for you (as the rent).” One of
those portions might yield something and the other might not. So, the Prophet forbade us to do so.
