رافع بن خديج
Rafi' ibn Khadij
Young Companion of Uhud, Scholar of Agricultural Rulings
Payg'ambar ﷺ bilan munosabati
Rafi's relationship with the Prophet ﷺ began with his determination to stand in the Prophet's ﷺ presence at Uhud — literally stretching himself to be accepted. The Prophet ﷺ saw his eagerness and permitted him, showing that sincere motivation matters alongside physical readiness. Rafi's narrations about the Prophet's ﷺ concern for economic justice — particularly his prohibition on exploitative agricultural arrangements — show a companion who deeply absorbed the Prophet's ﷺ concern for protecting the vulnerable in economic relationships.

Rafi' ibn Khadij al-Ansari was a young companion who is notable for several reasons: his determination to participate in jihad despite being considered too young, his role as a transmitter of important agricultural and economic hadiths, and his serious wound at the Battle of Uhud.
At the Battle of Uhud in 625 CE, Rafi' was initially turned away by the Prophet ﷺ for being too young. He stood on his toes to appear taller and was eventually permitted to join. He fought bravely and was struck by an arrow at Uhud. The arrow was so deeply embedded that it could not be extracted; when a doctor tried to remove the arrowhead, the wound re-bled. Eventually, the shaft was removed but the arrowhead remained in his body — and he carried this wound for the rest of his life.
Rafi' ibn Khadij became one of the most important transmitters of hadiths related to agricultural contracts, particularly the hadith prohibiting certain forms of sharecropping (muzara'a) that the Prophet ﷺ considered exploitative. This hadith generated significant discussion in Islamic jurisprudence, with later scholars debating the exact scope of what was prohibited.
He narrated approximately 78 hadiths and passed away around 73-74 AH. His narrations are particularly important in the chapters on economic transactions (mu'amalat) in classical fiqh works.
