Hadith #3389 (Sunan Abi Dawud) Book: Commercial Transactions (Kitab Al-Buyu) Narrator(s): Abdur Rahman bin Ishaq عبد الرحمن بن إسحاق بن عبد الله, Abu 'Ubaida bin Muhammad bin Yasir أبو عبيدة بن محمد بن عمار بن ياسر العنسي, Abu Bakr bin Abi Shayba أبو بكر بن أبي شيبة, al-Walid bin Abi al-Walid الوليد بن أبي الوليد عثمان, Masdad bin Masrhad مسدد بن مسرهد بن مسربل, Urwa ibn al-Zubayr عروة بن الزبير Grade: Sahih I heard Ibn Umar say: We did not see any harm in sharecropping till I heard Rafi’ ibn Khadij say: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) has forbidden it. So I mentioned it to Tawus. He said: Ibn Abbas told me that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) had not forbidden it, but said: It is better for one of you to lend to his brother than to take a prescribed sum from him.
