Sunan an-Nasai
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، - وَهُوَ ابْنُ مَيْمُونٍ - قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ طَارِقٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ سَعِيدَ بْنَ الْمُسَيَّبِ، يَقُولُ لاَ يُصْلِحُ الزَّرْعَ غَيْرُ ثَلاَثٍ أَرْضٍ يَمْلِكُ رَقَبَتَهَا أَوْ مِنْحَةٍ أَوْ أَرْضٍ بَيْضَاءَ يَسْتَأْجِرُهَا بِذَهَبٍ أَوْ فِضَّةٍ. وَرَوَى الزُّهْرِيُّ الْكَلاَمَ الأَوَّلَ عَنْ سَعِيدٍ فَأَرْسَلَهُ.
It was narrated that Tariq said: "I heard Sa'eed bin Al-Musayyab say: 'Cultivating land is not allowed except in three cases: Land which one owns, land which is given to one, or land which one rents in return for gold and silver.'"
