Narrated `Amr: I said to Tawus, I wish you would give up Mukhabara (Sharecropping), for the people say that the Prophet forbade it. On that Tawus replied, O `Amr! I give the land to sharecroppers and help them. No doubt; the most learned man, namely Ibn `Abbas told me that the Prophet had not forbidden it but said, 'It is more beneficial for one to give his land free to one's brother than to charge him a fixed rental.
