Whoever accepts Islam while holding something, it is his

Sayyiduna Sa'd bin Abi Dhubab (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and accepted Islam, and I said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), assign to my people that upon which they have accepted Islam." So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) assigned it to them.

Sayyiduna Sakhr bin al-Aylah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I seized the paternal aunt of Sayyiduna al-Mughirah and brought her to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Then Sayyiduna al-Mughirah bin Shu'bah (may Allah be pleased with him) arrived and asked about his aunt, and he was told that she was with me. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) summoned me and said: "O Sakhr, when a people accept Islam, they secure their property." He said: So we gave her to him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had given me the water of Banu Sulaym. Then they accepted Islam, came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and asked for the water. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Sakhr, when a people accept Islam, they secure their lives and their property, so return it." So I returned it.

Hasan bin Salih said: I asked Ubaydullah bin Umar about the acceptance of Islam by the people of the countryside and villages. He said: "Whoever accepts Islam from the people of the Sawad, if he was a dhimmi (one who had a covenant), then his land and property are his. And whoever accepts Islam having no covenant of protection (no covenant or treaty), and it was conquered by force, then his land belongs to the Muslims."

Ubaydullah said: This is written in the letter of Umar bin Abd al-Aziz.

Mujahid (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Any city conquered by force whose inhabitants then accept Islam: they will be free, and their wealth will go to the Muslims.

Sayyiduna Hani bin Yazid (may Allah be pleased with him) mentioned: I came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) with the delegation of my people. When the delegation intended to depart for its own region, he gave each man among them the land of his choice in his own region as an estate grant.

Al-Zuhri said: Whoever accepts Islam secures his person and his property, except for land, because he accepted Islam while having no power to defend himself.

Ghalib al-Abdi reports from a man of Banu Numayr that he came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), my people have believed on the condition that I give them such and such." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If you wish, you may go back on it, and leaving it is better."

Umar bin Abd al-Aziz (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Whoever accepts Islam from the people of the land, his property and his family are his, and as for his land, it falls within what Allah has bestowed upon the Muslims as fay'.

Ata and al-Zuhri said: It is from the Sunnah that whatever a man accepted Islam upon should be his.
