Narrated Salim bin Abdullah bin Umar: Ibn Umar used to let out his land till it reached him that Rafi bin Khadij al-Ansari narrated that the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم forbade let out land. So Abdullah (bin Umar) said: Ibn Khadij, what do you narrate from the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم about leasing the land? Rafi replied to Abdullah bin Umar: I heard both of my uncles were present in the battle of Badr say, and they narrated it to the members of the family, that the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم forbade leasing land. Abdullah said: I swear by Allah, I knew that land was leased in the time of the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم. Abdullah then feared that the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم might have created something new in that matter, so he gave up leasing land. Abu Dawud said: This tradition has also been transmitted by Ayyub, Ubaid Allah, Kathir bin Farqad, Malik from Nafi on the authority of Rafi from the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم. It has also been transmitted by al-Auzai' from Hafs bin 'Inan al-Hanafi from Nafi from Rafi who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم say: Similarly, it has been transmitted by Zaid bin Abi Unaisah from al-Hakkam from Nafi from Ibn Umar that he went to Rafi and asked: Have you heard the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم say? He replied: Yes. Similarly, it has also been transmitted by Ikrimah bin Ammar from Abu al-Najashi, from Rafi bin Khadij who said: I heard the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم say. It has also been transmitted by al-Auzai from Abu al-Najashi from Rafi bin Khadij from his uncle Zuhair bin Rafi from the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم. Abu Dawud said: The name of Abu al-Najashi is Ata bin Suhaib.
