Nafi reported that Ibn Umar (Allaah be pleased with them) rented his land during the lifetime of Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) and during the caliphate of Abu Bakr and that of Umar and that of Uthman (Allaah be pleased with them) and during the early period of Muawiya's caliphate until at the end of Muawiya's reign, it reached him (Ibn 'Umar) that Rafi b. Khadij (Allaah be pleased with him) narratted (a hadith) in which (there was a decree) of prohibition by Allaah's Prophet (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam). He (Ibn 'Umar) went to him (Rafi b. Khadij) and I was with him and he asked him, whereupon he said: Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) used to forbid the renting of land. So Ibn Umar (Allaah be pleased with them) abandoned it, and subsequently whenever he was asked about it, he said: Rafi b. Khadij (Allaah be pleased with him) alleged that Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) forbade it. |
