وَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْقَطَّانُ، عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ الْخَطْمِيِّ، قَالَ:
بَعَثَنِي عَمِّي مَعَ غُلَامٍ لَهُ إِلَى سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ، فَقَالَ: مَا تَقُولُ فِي الْمُزَارَعَةِ ؟ فَقَالَ: كَانَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ ؓ لَا يَرَى بِهَا بَأْسًا، حَتَّى حَدَّثَ عَنْ رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ ؓ فِيهَا حَدِيثًا: أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَتَى بَنِي حَارِثَةَ، فَرَأَى زَرْعًا فِي أَرْضِ ظُهَيْرٍ، فَقَالَ: مَا أَحْسَنَ أَرْضَ ظُهَيْرٍ ؟ فَقَالُوا: إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ لِظُهَيْرٍ. قَالَ: أَلَيْسَتْ أَرْضَ ظُهَيْرٍ ؟ قَالُوا: بَلَى، وَلَكِنَّهُ زَارَعَ فُلَانًا، فَقَالَ: رُدُّوا عَلَيْهِ نَفَقَتَهُ، وَخُذُوا زَرْعَكُمْ. قَالَ رَافِعٌ ؓ: فَأَخَذْنَا زَرْعَنَا، وَرَدَدْنَا عَلَيْهِ نَفَقَتَهُ

✧ My paternal uncle sent me with a servant of his to Sa'id b. al-Musayyib, and he said: What do you say about sharecropping? He said: Ibn Umar ؓ did not see any harm in it, until he was told a hadith from Rafi' b. Khadij ؓ about it: that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to Banu Harithah and saw a crop on the land of Zuhayr, and said: How good is the land of Zuhayr? They said: It is not Zuhayr's. He said: Is it not the land of Zuhayr? They said: Yes, but he sharecropped it to so-and-so. He said: Return to him his expenses, and take your crop. Rafi' ؓ said: So we took our crop and returned to him his expenses.
