Muwatta Malik #1469
Renting Land
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ حَنْظَلَةَ بْنِ قَيْسٍ الزُّرَقِيِّ، عَنْ رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم نَهَى عَنْ كِرَاءِ الْمَزَارِعِ قَالَ حَنْظَلَةُ فَسَأَلْتُ رَافِعَ بْنَ خَدِيجٍ بِالذَّهَبِ وَالْوَرِقِ فَقَالَ أَمَّا بِالذَّهَبِ وَالْوَرِقِ فَلاَ بَأْسَ بِهِ .
Yahya related to me from Malik from Rabia ibn Abd ar-Rahman from
Handhala ibn Qays az-Zuraqi from Rafi ibn Khadij that the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, forbade renting out
fields.
Handhala said, "I asked Rafi ibn Khadij, about paying
in gold and silver, and he said, 'There is no harm in it.' "
