Narrated Ishaq ibn Mansur: Yahya ibn Hammad informed us, Abu 'Awanah informed us, from Sulayman al-Shaybani, from 'Abdullah ibn al-Sa'ib, who said: We entered upon 'Abdullah ibn Ma'qil and asked him about sharecropping (al-muzara'ah). He said: Thabit claimed that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) forbade sharecropping and commanded leasing (al-mu'ajarah), and he said, "There is no harm in it."
