הזהירנו מעבודת הארץ בשני שביעית. והוא אמרו יתעלה שדך לא תזרע, וכל מי שעבר על לאו זה לוקה. וכבר התבארו משפטי מצוה זו בשביעית. (בהר סיני, הלכות שמיטה פ"א):

Sefaria Edition 2021, Translated by Rabbi Francis Nataf

He prohibited us from working the land in the seventh year. And that is His, may He be exalted, saying, "you shall not sow your field" (Leviticus 25:4). And anyone who transgresses this negative commandment is lashed. And the regulations of this commandment have already been explained in Sheviit. (See Parashat Behar; Mishneh Torah, Sabbatical Year and the Jubilee 1.)
