Hadith 3073
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " مَنْ أَحْيَا أَرْضًا مَيْتَةً فَهِيَ لَهُ وَلَيْسَ لِعِرْقٍ ظَالِمٍ حَقٌّ " .
Narrated Saeed ibn Zayd: The Prophet ﷺ said: If anyone brings barren land into cultivation, it belongs to him, and the unjust vein has no right.
Hadith 3074
حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَةُ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ يَعْنِي ابْنَ إِسْحَاق ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ عُرْوَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " مَنْ أَحْيَا أَرْضًا مَيْتَةً فَهِيَ لَهُ " وَذَكَرَ مِثْلَهُ ، قَالَ : فَلَقَدْ خَبَّرَنِي الَّذِي حَدَّثَنِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ ، أَنَّ رَجُلَيْنِ اخْتَصَمَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ غَرَسَ أَحَدُهُمَا نَخْلًا فِي أَرْضِ الآخَرِ فَقَضَى لِصَاحِبِ الأَرْضِ بِأَرْضِهِ وَأَمَرَ صَاحِبَ النَّخْلِ أَنْ يُخْرِجَ نَخْلَهُ مِنْهَا ، قَالَ : فَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُهَا وَإِنَّهَا لَتُضْرَبُ أُصُولُهَا بِالْفُؤُوسِ وَإِنَّهَا لَنَخْلٌ عُمٌّ حَتَّى أُخْرِجَتْ مِنْهَا .
Narrated Urwah: The Prophet ﷺ said: If anyone brings barren land into cultivation, it belong to him. He then transmitted a similar tradition mentioned above (No. 3067). He (Urwah) said: One who transmitted this tradition to me said that two persons brought their dispute to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. One of them grew palm trees in the land of the other. He decided to return the land to its owner of the palm-trees to remove his palm-trees. He said: I saw when their roots were being struck with axes. The trees were fully grown up, but they were removed from there.
Hadith 3075
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الدَّارِمِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا وَهْبٌ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ ابْنِ إِسْحَاقِ ، بِإِسْنَادِه وَمَعْنَاهُ ، إلا أَنَّهُ قَالَ عِنْدَ قَوْلِهِ مَكَانَ الَّذِي حَدَّثَنِي هَذَا ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَأَكْثَرُ ظَنِّي أَنَّهُ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيُّ ، فَأَنَا رَأَيْتُ الرَّجُلَ يَضْرِبُ فِي أُصُولِ النَّخْلِ .
The tradition mentioned above has also been transmitted by Ibn Ishaq through a different chain of narrators and to the same effect. Instead of the phrase “one who transmitted this tradition to me” this version has “A man from among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ and probably he was Abu Saeed Al Khudri. I saw the man striking at the roots of the palm trees. ”
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.
Hadith 3077
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بِشْرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ الْحَسَنِ ، عَنْ سَمُرَةَ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " مَنْ أَحَاطَ حَائِطًا عَلَى أَرْضٍ فَهِيَ لَهُ " .
Narrated Samurah: The Prophet ﷺ said: If anyone surrounds a land with a wall, it belongs to him.
Hadith 3078
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ السَّرْحِ ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ ، أَخْبَرَنِي مَالِكٌ ، قَالَ هِشَامٌ : الْعِرْقُ الظَّالِمُ أَنْ يَغْرِسَ الرَّجُلُ فِي أَرْضِ غَيْرِهِ فَيَسْتَحِقَّهَا بِذَلِكَ ، قَالَ مَالِكٌ : وَالْعِرْقُ الظَّالِمُ كُلُّ مَا أُخِذَ وَاحْتُفِرَ وَغُرِسَ بِغَيْرِ حَقٍّ .
Hisham said “The unjust vein means that a man implants a tree in the land of another man so that they may be entitled to it. Malik said “The unjust vein means that a man takes (a thing) digs a pit and implants a tree without (his) right.
Hadith 3079
حَدَّثَنَا سَهْلُ بْنُ بَكَّارٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ يَحْيَى ، عَنْ الْعَبَّاسِ السَّاعِدِيِّ يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي حُمَيْدٍ السَّاعِدِيِّ ، قَالَ : غَزَوْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ تَبُوكَ فَلَمَّا أَتَى وَادِي الْقُرَى إِذَا امْرَأَةٌ فِي حَدِيقَةٍ لَهَا ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِأَصْحَابِهِ : " اخْرُصُوا ، فَخَرَصَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَشْرَةَ أَوْسُقٍ ، فَقَالَ لِلْمَرْأَةِ : أَحْصِي مَا يَخْرُجُ مِنْهَا ، فَأَتَيْنَا تَبُوكَ فَأَهْدَى مَلِكُ أَيْلَةَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَغْلَةً بَيْضَاءَ وَكَسَاهُ بُرْدَةً وَكَتَبَ لَهُ يَعْنِي بِبَحْرِهِ ، قَالَ : فَلَمَّا أَتَيْنَا وَادِي الْقُرَى ، قَالَ لِلْمَرْأَةِ : كَمْ كَانَ فِي حَدِيقَتِكِ ؟ قَالَتْ : عَشْرَةَ أَوْسُقٍ خَرْصَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : إِنِّي مُتَعَجِّلٌ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ فَمَنْ أَرَادَ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ يَتَعَجَّلَ مَعِي فَلْيَتَعَجَّلْ " .
Abu Humaid Al Saeedi said “I went to Tabuk on an expedition along with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. When he reached Wadi Al Qura, he found a woman in her garden. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to his Companions “Assess (the quantity o fruits). The Messenger of Allah ﷺ assessed ten wasqs. ” He said to the woman “Count the produce of it. We then came to Tabuk. ” The monarch of Ailah presented a white mule as a gift to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He presented a cloak as a gift o him and wrote a document for his land at sea coast. When we came to Wadi Al Qura he said to the woman “How much is the produce of your garden?” She replied “Ten wasqs which the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had assessed. ” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said “I am going quickly to Madeenah if any of you intend to go quickly with me, he should make haste. ”
Hadith 3080
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ بْنُ غِيَاثٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ بْنُ زِيَادٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا الأَعْمَشُ ، عَنْ جَامِعِ بْنِ شَدَّادٍ ، عَنْ كُلْثُومٍ ، عَنْ زَيْنَبَ : أَنَّهَا كَانَتْ تَفْلِي رَأْسَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَعِنْدَهُ امْرَأَةُ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَفَّانَ ، وَنِسَاءٌ مِنْ الْمُهَاجِرَاتِ وَهُنَّ يَشْتَكِينَ مَنَازِلَهُنَّ أَنَّهَا تَضِيقُ عَلَيْهِنَّ وَيُخْرَجْنَ مِنْهَا ، فَأَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ تُوَرَّثَ دُورَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ النِّسَاءُ ، فَمَاتَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ فَوُرِّثَتْهُ امْرَأَتُهُ دَارًا بِالْمَدِينَةِ .
Narrated Zaynab: She was picking lice from the head of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while the wife of Uthman ibn Affan and the immigrant women were with him. They complained about their houses that they had been narrowed down to them and they were evicted from them. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered that the houses of the Immigrants should be given to their wives. Thereafter Abdullah ibn Masud died, and his wife inherited his house in Madina.
