Narrated Hanzlah Bin Qais AlAnsari: I asked Rafi Bin Khadeej about the lease of land for gold and silver i.e. for dinars and dirhams. There is no harm in it; for the people used to let out land in the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ for what grew by the current of water and at the banks of streamlets and at the places of cultivation. So sometimes this portion perished and that portion was saved; and sometimes this remained intact and that perished. There was no form of lease among the people except this. Therefore; he forbade it. But if there is something which is secure and known; then there is no harm in it. The tradition of Ibrahim is more perfect. Qutaibah said: from Hanzalah on the authority of Rafi.Abu Dawud said: A similar tradition has been transmitted by Yahya Bin Saeed from Hanzalah.
