"The Prophet passed by the land of a man from among the Ansar who he knew was in need and said: 'Whose is this land?' He said: 'So and so's; he has given it to us in return for rent.' He said: 'Why did he not give it to his brother?'" Rafi' came to the Ansar and said: "The Messenger of Allah has forbidden something for you which was beneficial, but obedience to the command of the Messenger of Allah is more beneficial for you."

أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدِ اللهِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ مُهَاجِرٍ عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ عَنْ رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ قَالَ

مَرَّ النَّبِي ﷺ عَلَى أَرْضِ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ قَدْ عُرِفَ أَنَّهُ مُحْتَاجٌ فَقَالَ «لِمَنْ هَذِهِ الْأَرْضُ؟» فَقَالَ لِفُلَانٍ أَعْطَانِيهَا بِالْأَجْرِ قَالَ «لَوْ مَنَحَهَا أَخَاهُ» فَأَتَى رَافِعٌ الْأَنْصَارَ فَقَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ نَهَاكُمْ عَنْ أَمْرٍ كَانَ بِكُمْ رَافِقًا وَطَاعَةُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْفَعُ لَكُمْ
