I said to Tawus, "I wish you would give up Mukhabara (Sharecropping), for the people say that the
Prophet forbade it." On that Tawus replied, "O `Amr! I give the land to sharecroppers and help them.

said, 'It is more beneficial for one to give his land free to one's brother than to charge him a fixed
rental."
