حَدَّثَنَا فَيَّاضُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ الرَّقِّيُّ عَنْ جَعْفَرٍ يَعْنِي ابْنَ بُرْقَانَ عَنْ ثَابِتِ بْنِ الْحَجَّاجِ قَالَ قَالَ زَيْدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ نَهَانَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ الْمُخَابَرَةِ قَالَ وَقِيلَ لَهُ مَا الْمُخَابَرَةُ قَالَ أَنْ تَأْخُذَ الْأَرْضَ بِنِصْفٍ أَوْ بِثُلُثٍ أَوْ بِرُبُعٍ أَوْ بِأَشْبَاهِ هَذَا.
English Translation
Fayyad ibn Muhammad Abu Muhammad al-Raqqi told us, from Ja'far, meaning Ibn Burqan, from Thabit ibn al-Hajjaj, who said: Zayd ibn Thabit said: 'The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, forbade us from al-mukhabarah.' He said: And it was said to him, 'What is al-mukhabarah?' He said: 'That you take land [to cultivate] for half, or a third, or a quarter, or the like of that.'
