بَابُ مَا جَاءَ فِي الرَّجُلِ يُحْيِي الْأَرْضَ بِغَرْسِ شَجَرٍ أَوْ حَفْرِ بَيْر فَمَاذَا يَكُونُ حَرَمُهَا؟
Chapter: What has been reported regarding a man who revives land by planting trees or digging a well—what is its protected area?
Hadith 6165
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَرِيمُ الْبِئْرِ أَرْبَعُونَ ذِرَاعًا مِنْ حَوَالَيْهَا كُلِّهَا لِأَعْطَانِ الْإِبِلِ وَالْغَنَمِ وَابْنُ السَّبِيلِ أَوَّلُ شَارِبٍ وَلَا يُمْنَعُ فَضْلُ مَاءٍ لِيُمْنَعَ بِهِ الْكَلَأُ
Narrated by Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The enclosure of a well will be forty cubits from all sides; this space will be for camels and goats to sit. The first person to drink from such a well will be a traveler, and surplus water should not be withheld for the purpose of preventing others from using the grass through it.
Hadith 6166
عَنْ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَضَى فِي النَّخْلَةِ أَوِ النَّخْلَتَيْنِ أَوِ الثَّلَاثِ فَيَخْتَلِفُونَ فِي حُقُوقِ ذَلِكَ فَقَضَى أَنَّ لِكُلِّ نَخْلَةٍ مِنْ أُولَئِكَ مَبْلَغَ جَرِيدَتِهَا حَيِّزٌ لَهَا
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ubadah bin Samit (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) gave a ruling regarding one, two, or three date palm trees, when people were disputing about their rights. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ruled that wherever the branches of each date palm reach, that area will be considered as the domain of that tree.
