أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عَوْنٍ قَالَ
كَانَ مُحَمَّدٌ يَقُولُ «الْأَرْضُ عِنْدِي مِثْلُ الْمَالِ الْمُضَارَبَةِ فَمَا صَلَحَ فِي الْمَالِ الْمُضَارَبَةِ صَلَحَ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَمَا لَمْ يَصْلُحْ فِي الْمَالِ الْمُضَارَبَةِ لَمْ يَصْلُحْ فِي الْأَرْضِ» قَالَ «وَكَانَ لَا يَرَى بَأْسًا أَنْ يَدْفَعَ أَرْضَهُ إِلَى الْأَكَّارِ عَلَى أَنْ يَعْمَلَ فِيهَا بِنَفْسِهِ وَوَلَدِهِ وَأَعْوَانِهِ وَبَقَرِهِ وَلَا يُنْفِقُ شَيْئًا وَتَكُونُ النَّفَقَةُ كُلُّهَا مِنْ رَبِّ الْأَرْضِ»

✧ Muhammad used to say: Land, in my view, is like capital in a mudarabah partnership. Whatever is valid in a mudarabah partnership is valid in land, and whatever is not valid in a mudarabah partnership is not valid in land. He said: He saw no harm in handing over his land to a farmer on the condition that he work on it himself with his children, his helpers, and his oxen, and not spend anything, with all expenses borne by the owner of the land.
