Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْمُغِيرَةِ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُصْعَبٍ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ حَدَّثَنِي عَطَاءٌ وَقَالَ ابْنُ مُصْعَبٍ عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ أَبِي رَبَاحٍ عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ كَانَتْ لِرِجَالٍ فُضُولُ أَرَضِينَ فَكَانُوا يُؤَاجِرُونَهَا عَلَى الثُّلُثِ وَالرُّبُعِ وَالنِّصْفِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ أَرْضٌ فَلْيَزْرَعْهَا أَوْ لِيَمْنَحْهَا أَخَاهُ فَإِنْ أَبَى فَلْيُمْسِكْ أَرْضَهُ.
English Translation
Abu al-Mughirah and Muhammad ibn Mus'ab told us, they said: al-Awza'i told us, Ata' told me - and Ibn Mus'ab said: from Ata' ibn Abi Rabah - from Jabir, who said: Some men had surplus land, and they used to rent it out for a third, a quarter, or a half of the produce. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Whoever has land, let him cultivate it or let him give it to his brother; and if he refuses, let him keep his land uncultivated."
