The Young Companion of Badr
Peygamber ﷺ ile İlişkisi
Rafi ibn Khadij's first notable interaction with the Prophet ﷺ was being turned away for being too young for battle — a moment that could have discouraged him but instead deepened his determination. He grew up in direct contact with the Prophet and preserved his teachings with the diligence of one who understood the weight of what he had witnessed.

Tam Biyografi
Rafi ibn Khadij al-Ansari was a young companion from the Ansar who famously presented himself for the Battle of Badr as a child eager to fight for Islam. He was initially turned away by the Prophet ﷺ for being too young, but was later permitted to participate in battles as he grew. He went on to fight in Uhud and subsequent campaigns with distinction.
He is particularly known for a famous hadith related to agricultural contracts (muzara'a), in which he reported that the Prophet ﷺ prohibited a certain form of land leasing that was causing disputes. This hadith became foundational in Islamic jurisprudence on agricultural partnerships. He narrated a significant number of hadiths and lived into the era of the Umayyads, dying around 73 AH. His willingness to correct juridical practice based on direct prophetic knowledge made him one of the trusted authorities of Medina.
Meşhur Sözleri
"The Prophet ﷺ forbade the form of land-leasing we were accustomed to — so we abandoned it when we heard this."
