Mujahid said to Tawus: Come along with me to Ibn Rafi bin Khadij in order to listen from him the hadith transmitted on the authority of his father (pertaining to the renting of land) from Allahs Apostle ﷺ . He (Tawus) scolded him and said: By Allah, it I were to know that Allahs Messenger ﷺ had forbidden it, I would have never done it. But it has been narrated to me by one who has better knowledge of it amongst them (and he meant Ibn Abbas) that Allahs Messenger ﷺ said: It is better if a person lends, his land to his brother (for cultivation) than that he gets recognised rent on it.
