Summary of Sunan an-Nasai Hadith 3870

This short hadith gives one clear statement: the Messenger of Allah forbade Al-Haql. In the translation, Al-Haql is identified as renting land in return for one-third or one-quarter of the produce. Because the narration is very brief, the explanation should remain equally focused. It does not describe the parties, the condition of the land, a cash rent, or any exception. The core topic is the named crop-share land arrangement. A reader searching for the meaning of Al-Haql can understand from this text that it concerns a land rental tied to a stated fraction of the harvest. The hadith also reminds readers to avoid adding details that are not present in the report itself.

What we learn from this hadith

  • The Messenger of Allah forbade Al-Haql.
  • Al-Haql is identified here as renting land for one-third or one-quarter of the produce.
  • The prohibition concerns the specific crop-share arrangement named in the text.
  • A brief narration should not be expanded with conditions it does not mention.
