Hadith 3076

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدَةَ الْآمُلِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ ، أَخْبَرَنَا نَافِعُ بْنُ عُمَرَ ، عَنْ ابْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ ، قَالَ : أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَضَى أَنَّ الأَرْضَ أَرْضُ اللَّهِ ، وَالْعِبَادَ عِبَادُ اللَّهِ وَمَنْ أَحْيَا مَوَاتًا فَهُوَ أَحَقُّ بِهِ جَاءَنَا ، بِهَذَا عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الَّذِينَ جَاءُوا بِالصَّلَوَاتِ عَنْهُ .
Narrated Urwah: I testify that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ decided that the land is the land of Allah, and the servants are the servants of Allah. If anyone brings barren land into cultivation, he has more right to it. This tradition has been transmitted to us from the Prophet ﷺ by those who transmitted the traditions about prayer from him.

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
Benefit: The Prophet Muhammad, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, did not only explain the rulings related to acts of worship. Rather, he also clarified the issues of transactions and rights. Just as the commands of the Noble Prophet, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, regarding prayer and fasting are decisive in matters of worship, in the same way, his, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, statements in matters of transactions are the truth and justice, and a means of salvation in this world and the Hereafter.
