Sahih Muslim Book - 21, Hadith - 3924

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ كُنَّا نُخَابِرُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- فَنُصِيبُ مِنَ الْقِصْرِىِّ وَمِنْ كَذَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- « مَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ أَرْضٌ فَلْيَزْرَعْهَا أَوْ فَلْيُحْرِثْهَا أَخَاهُ وَإِلاَّ فَلْيَدَعْهَا ».

It was narrated that Jabir said: "We used to rent (Khabir) land at the time of the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) and we would get a share of the grain left in the ears after threshing and of such-and-such (a quantity). Then the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'Whoever has land (surplus) let him cultivate it or let his brother till it, otherwise, let him leave it."'
