Da'if
Sunan Ibn Majah 2463
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ الْجَحْدَرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ، عَنْ خَالِدٍ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، عَنْ طَاوُسٍ، أَنَّ مُعَاذَ بْنَ جَبَلٍ، أَكْرَى الأَرْضَ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَأَبِي بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ وَعُثْمَانَ عَلَى الثُّلُثِ وَالرُّبُعِ فَهُوَ يَعْمَلُ بِهِ إِلَى يَوْمِكَ هَذَا ‏.‏
It was narrated from Tawus that :

Mu`adh bin Jabl leased some land during the time of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), Abu Bakr, 'Umar and 'Uthmah, in return for one third or one fourth (of the yield), and he was still doing that until this day of yours.
