English Translation
Zuhair ibn Rafi' narrated from his uncle that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) forbade us from something that was beneficial to us. The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) called me and said: 'What do you do with your fields?' I said: 'We rent them out for a quarter or an eighth.' He said: 'Do not do that. Either cultivate them or keep them.' I said: 'I hear and obey.'
