Compiled by Imam Muhammad al-Bukhari
حَدَّثَنَا قَبِيصَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو، قَالَ ذَكَرْتُهُ لِطَاوُسٍ فَقَالَ يُزْرِعُ، قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم لَمْ يَنْهَ عَنْهُ وَلَكِنْ قَالَ " أَنْ يَمْنَحَ أَحَدُكُمْ أَخَاهُ خَيْرٌ لَهُ مِنْ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ شَيْئًا مَعْلُومًا ".
When I mentioned it (i.e. the narration of Rafi` 'bin Khadij: no. 532) to Tawus, he said, "It is permissible to rent the land for cultivation, for Ibn `Abbas said, 'The Prophet (ﷺ) did not forbid that, but said: One had better give the land to one's brother gratis rather than charge a certain amount for it.' "
