أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَبِيبِ بْنِ عَرَبِيٍّ، عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ، يَقُولُ كُنَّا لاَ نَرَى بِالْخِبْرِ بَأْسًا حَتَّى كَانَ عَامَ الأَوَّلِ فَزَعَمَ رَافِعٌ أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم نَهَى عَنْهُ. خَالَفَهُ عَارِمٌ فَقَالَ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ عَمْرٍو عَنْ جَابِرٍ.قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَرَمِيُّ بْنُ يُونُسَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَارِمٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم نَهَى عَنْ كِرَاءِ الأَرْضِ. تَابَعَهُ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ الطَّائِفِيُّ.
`Amr bin Dinar Narrated from:
I heard Ibn 'Umar say: 'We did not see anything wrong with Al-Khibr until last year, when Rafi' said that the Prophet of Allah forbade it.'"It was narrated from Jabir bin 'Abdullah that the Prophet forbade leasing land.

Summary of Sunan an-Nasai Hadith 3919
This entry contains two closely connected reports. In the first, 'Amr bin Dinar said that he heard Ibn 'Umar explain that they had not seen anything wrong with Al-Khibr until the previous year, when Rafi' said that the Prophet of Allah had forbidden it. The second report is from Jabir bin 'Abdullah and states directly that the Prophet forbade leasing land. The narration also notes a difference in the chain, so the two reports should be presented as the text gives them rather than blended into a new story. The shared topic is agricultural land leasing and Al-Khibr. The main teaching is that the prohibition was transmitted through more than one reported route in this entry, while the wording and named narrator of each route remain distinct.
What we learn from this hadith
- Ibn Umar said their earlier view of Al-Khibr changed after Rafi’s report.
- A separate report from Jabir states that the Prophet forbade leasing land.
- The two chains and narrators should remain distinct when explaining the text.
- The shared subject is the prohibition connected with agricultural land leasing.
