بَابُ مَنِ اعْتَصَبَ أَوْ سَرَقَ شَيْئًا مِنَ الْأَرْضِ وَلَوْ قِيْدَ شير أو ذراع
Chapter: One who seizes or steals something from land, even a span or a cubit
Al-Fath ar-Rabbani 6196 — One who seizes or steals something
عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَيُّ الظُّلْمِ أَعْظَمُ قَالَ ذِرَاعٌ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ يَنْتَقِصُهُ مِنْ حَقِّ أَخِيهِ فَلَيْسَتْ حَصَاةٌ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ أَخَذَهَا إِلَّا طُوِّقَهَا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ إِلَى قَعْرِ الْأَرْضِ وَلَا يَعْلَمُ قَعْرَهَا إِلَّا الَّذِي خَلَقَهَا
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I asked, "O Messenger of Allah! Which oppression is the greatest?" You (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A piece of land, which a man snatches from his brother's right. Whoever seizes even as much land as a pebble in this way, on the Day of Resurrection, he will be made to wear a collar reaching to the depths of the earth, and no one knows the depth of the earth except the One who created it."
