سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَتَقَبَّلُ الْأَرْضَ مِنَ الدَّهَاقِينِ فَيُؤَاجِرُهَا بِأَكْثَرَ مِمَّا يَتَقَبَّلُهَا وَ يَقُومُ فِيهَا بِحَظِّ السُّلْطَانِ قَالَ لَا بَأْسَ بِهِ إِنَّ الْأَرْضَ لَيْسَتْ مِثْلَ الْأَجِيرِ وَ لَا مِثْلَ الْبَيْتِ إِنَّ فَضْلَ الْأَجِيرِ وَ الْبَيْتِ حَرَامٌ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad and Ahmad Bin Muhammad altogether, from Ibn Mahboub, from Khalid Bin Jareer, from Abu Al Rabie Al Shamy, from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, said, ‘I asked him<sup>asws</sup> about the man who Leased the land from the farmers, so he sub-leased it out with more than what he had leased it with, and he undertook therein the share of the Sultan (ruling authority). He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘There is no problem with it. The land is not like the employee, nor like the house. The excess of the employee’s wages and the house is prohibited’.
