Hadith of Rafi' bin Rifa'ah (RA)

حديث رافع بن رفاعة

Hadith 725:1

Hashim ibn al-Qasim narrated to us, 'Ikrimah—meaning ibn 'Ammar—narrated to us, he said: Tariq ibn 'Abd al-Rahman al-Qurashi narrated to me, he said: Rafi' ibn Rifa'ah came to the gathering of the Ansar and said: "The Prophet of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, has forbidden us today from something that used to be beneficial for us in our livelihoods." He said: "He forbade us from the renting of land." He said: "Whoever has land, let him cultivate it, or let his brother cultivate it, or let him leave it." "And he forbade us from the earnings of the cupper, and commanded us to feed it to our camels used for watering." "And he forbade us from the earnings of the slave girl, except for what she has worked with her own hand." And he gestured with his fingers like this toward bread, spinning, and wool-carding.

حدثنا هاشم بن القاسم، حدثنا عكرمة يعني ابن عمار، قال: حدثني طارق بن عبد الرحمن القرشي قال: جاء رافع بن رفاعة إلى مجلس الأنصار، فقال لقد: نهانا نبي الله صلى الله عليه وسلم اليوم عن شيء كان يرفق بنا في معايشنا، فقال: نهانا عن كراء الأرض، قال: " من كانت له أرض فليزرعها، أو ليزرعها أخاه، أو ليدعها " " ونهانا عن كسب الحجام، وأمرنا أن نطعمه نواضحنا " " ونهانا عن كسب الأمة، إلا ما عملت بيدها "، وقال: " هكذا بأصابعه نحو الخبز والغزل والنفش "
