Hadith 1536

Sulaiman b. Musa asked Ata': Did Jabir b. 'Abdullah (Allah be pleased with them) reported Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) as saying:" He who has land should cultivate it himself, or let his brother cultivate it, and should not give on rent"? He said: Yes.

وَحَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ بْنُ فَرُّوخَ، حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ، قَالَ سَأَلَ سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ مُوسَى عَطَاءً فَقَالَ أَحَدَّثَكَ جَابِرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏"‏ مَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ أَرْضٌ فَلْيَزْرَعْهَا أَوْ لِيُزْرِعْهَا أَخَاهُ وَلاَ يُكْرِهَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ نَعَمْ ‏.‏
