حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ حَنْظَلَةَ الزُّرَقِيَّ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَافِعَ بْنَ خَدِيجٍ رضى الله عنه

يَقُولُ كُنَّا أَكْثَرَ الأَنْصَارِ حَقْلاً، فَكُنَّا نُكْرِي الأَرْضَ، فَرُبَّمَا أَخْرَجَتْ هَذِهِ وَلَمْ تُخْرِجْ ذِهِ، فَنُهِينَا عَنْ ذَلِكَ، وَلَمْ نُنْهَ عَنِ الْوَرِقِ

We used to work on the fields more than the other Ansar, and we used to rent the land (for the yield of a specific portion of it). But sometimes that portion or the rest of the land did not give any yield, so we were forbidden (by the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam)) to follow such a system, but we were allowed to rent the land for money.

রাফি‘ ইবনু খাদীজ (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, আনসারদের মধ্যে আমরা অধিক শস্য ক্ষেত্রের মালিক ছিলাম। তাই আমরা জমি বর্গা দিতাম। কখনো এ অংশে ফসল হতো, আর ঐ অংশে ফসল হতো না। তখন আমাদের তা করতে নিষেধ করে দেয়া হলো। কিন্তু অর্থের বিনিময়ে চাষ করতে দিতে নিষেধ করা হয়নি। (২২৮৬)

ہم سے مالک بن اسماعیل نے بیان کیا، کہا ہم سے ابن عیینہ نے بیان کیا، کہا ہم سے یحییٰ بن سعید نے بیان کیا، کہا کہ میں نے حنظلہ زرقی سے سنا، انہوں نے کہا کہ میں نے رافع بن خدیج رضی اللہ عنہ سے سنا، آپ بیان کرتے تھے کہ ہم اکثر انصار کاشتکاری کیا کرتے تھے اور ہم زمین بٹائی پر دیتے تھے۔

اکثر ایسا ہوتا کہ کسی کھیت کے ایک ٹکڑے میں پیداوار ہوتی اور دوسرے میں نہ ہوتی، اس لیے ہمیں اس سے منع کر دیا گیا۔ لیکن چاندی ( روپے وغیرہ ) کے لگان سے منع نہیں کیا گیا۔

Telah bercerita kepada kami [Malik bin Isma'il] telah bercerita kepada kami [Ibnu 'Uyainah] telah bercerita kepada kami [Yahya bin Sa'id] berkata aku mendengar [Hanzholah Az Zuraqiy] berkata aku mendengar [Rofi' bin Khodij radliallahu 'anhu] berkata: "Kami adalah orang Anshor yang paling banyak memiliki kebun dan kami memperkerjakan orang untuk menggarap ladang dan apabila ada hasilnya penggarapnya mendapatkan bagian dan bila tidak maka tidak dapat bagian. Kemudian kami dilarang mempraktekkan ini namun kami tidak dilarang bila memberi upah dengan uang

Rafi İbn Hadlc r.a.'den nakledilmiştir: Medineli Müslümanlar içinde en çok bizim tarlamız vardı ve biz, tarlalarımızı kiraya verirdik. (Kimilerimiz tarlasını kiraya verirken "Şurası sana aittir, burası bana aittir" diye şart koşardı ama bazen tarlanın bir kısmı ürün verirken kalan kısmı ürün vermeyebiliyordu. Böyle yapmamız yasaklandı.

Ama gümüş karşılığı kiraya vermemiz yasaklanmadı. Not: Parantez içindeki ifade hadisin diğer rivayetlerinden alınmıştır. باب: ما لا يجوز من الشروط في النكاح 8. EVLİLİK SÖZLEŞMESİNDE KOŞULMASI CAİZ OLMAYAN ŞARTLAR)

What it means

This Hadīth clarifies the valid and invalid sharecropping. Rāfi‘ ibn Khadīj mentioned that his people owned most of the farms and gardens in Madīnah. They used to sharecrop them in a way that was commonly practiced in the pre-Islamic era. They would give the land to be cultivated in return for receiving the produce of one side of the land and leaving the produce of the other side for the farmer.

Sometimes one side would bring forth produce and the other would not. The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) forbade them from this transaction, due to the great uncertainty and danger it involves. The compensation must be known, and there must also be a sort of equality in profits and losses. If the compensation is part of the produce, then it is sharecropping and partnership in cultivation that should be built upon justice and equality in its profits and losses.

Justice could be achieved by assigning a specified proportion/percentage of the produce for each of the parties, such as the fourth or the half, or the like. This form of transaction is permissible whether the payment is given in gold or silver (which is leasing) or in proportion of the land produce (which is sharecropping). This is supported by the Hadīth, which reads: "If the compensation is something known and guaranteed, then there is no objection to it."
