عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ لَنَا مَرْوَانُ انْطَلِقُوا فَأَصْلِحُوا بَيْنَ هَذَيْنِ سَعِيدِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ وَأَرْوَى بِنْتِ أُوَيْسٍ فَأَتَيْنَا سَعِيدَ بْنَ زَيْدٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَقَالَ أَتَرَوْنَ أَنِّي قَدِ اسْتَنْقَصْتُ مِنْ حَقِّهَا شَيْئًا أَشْهَدُ لَسَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ مَنْ أَخَذَ وَفِي لَفْظٍ مَنْ سَرَقَ شِبْرًا مِنَ الْأَرْضِ بِغَيْرِ حَقِّهِ طُوِّقَهُ مِنْ سَبْعِ أَرَضِينَ وَمَنْ تَوَلَّى قَوْمًا بِغَيْرِ إِذْنِهِمْ فَعَلَيْهِ لَعْنَةُ اللَّهِ وَمَنِ اقْتَطَعَ مَالَ أَخِيهِ بِيَمِينِهِ فَلَا بَارَكَ اللَّهُ لَهُ فِيهِ
Abu Salamah narrates that he says: Marwan told us to go and reconcile between Sayyiduna Sa'id bin Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him) and Arwa bint Uwais. When we reached Sayyiduna Sa'id bin Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him), he said to us: What do you think, have I usurped Arwa's share of the land? I myself heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say that whoever seizes or steals even a span of someone else's land without right, a collar from seven earths will be put around his neck, and whoever appoints a leader over a people without their permission, the curse of Allah will be upon him, and whoever seizes his brother's wealth through an oath, Allah will not bless it for him.
