It was narrated from Usaid bin Zuhair that he went out to his people, Banu Harithah, and said:
O Banu Harithah, a calamity has befallen you. They said: What is it? He said: The Messenger of Allah has forbidden leasing land. We said: O Messenger of Allah, what if we lease it in return for some of the grain? He said, No. He said: We used to lease it in return for straw. He said: No. We used to lease it in return for what is planted on the banks of a stream that is used for irrigation. He said: No. Cultivate it (yourself) or give it to your brother.
