Bayhaqi 11533 — The severity of usurping land and liability

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو عَمْرِو بْنُ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ، أنبأ أَبُو يَعْلَى الْمَوْصِلِيُّ، ثنا أَبُو الرَّبِيعِ الزَّهْرَانِيُّ، ثنا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ أَرْوَى ⦗١٦٣⦘ بِنْتَ أَوْسٍ ادَّعَتْ عَلَى سَعِيدِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ أَنَّهُ أَخَذَ شَيْئًا مِنْ أَرْضِهَا، فَخَاصَمَتْهُ إِلَى مَرْوَانَ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ، فَقَالَ سَعِيدٌ: أَنَا كُنْتُ آخُذُ مِنْ أَرْضِهَا شَيْئًا بَعْدَ الَّذِي سَمِعْتُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: وَمَاذَا سَمِعْتَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ؟ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " مَنْ أَخَذَ شِبْرًا مِنَ الْأَرْضِ، يَعْنِي ظُلْمًا، طُوِّقَهُ إِلَى سَبْعِ أَرَضِينَ "، فَقَالَ لَهُ مَرْوَانُ: لَا أَسْأَلُكَ بَيِّنَةً بَعْدَ هَذَا، قَالَ: اللهُمَّ إِنْ كَانَتْ كَاذِبَةً فَأَعْمِ بَصَرَهَا، وَاقْتُلْهَا فِي أَرْضِهَا، قَالَ: فَمَا مَاتَتْ حَتَّى ذَهَبَ بَصَرُهَا، فَبَيْنَا هِيَ تَمْشِي فِي أَرْضِهَا إِذْ وَقَعَتْ فِي حُفْرَةٍ فَمَاتَتْ رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ فِي الصَّحِيحِ عَنْ أَبِي الرَّبِيعِ، وَأَخْرَجَهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ مِنْ حَدِيثِ أَبِي أُسَامَةَ عَنْ هِشَامٍ.
Hisham bin Urwah (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates from his father that Arwa bint Aws brought a claim against Sa'id bin Zayd (may Allah be pleased with him) that Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him) had seized her land. The woman brought the dispute to Marwan. Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him) said: How could I seize her land when I have heard from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)? Marwan said: What did you hear from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)? He said: I heard that "Whoever takes a span of land unjustly will be made to wear a collar of seven earths." Marwan said: After this I will not ask you for any other proof. Then Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him) said: 'Allahumma in kanat kadhibatan fa-a'mi basaraha, waqtulha fi ardiha' "O Allah, if she is lying, then take away her sight and cause her to die in her land." The narrator said: She did not die until her sight had gone, and while she was walking in her land she suddenly fell into a pit and died.
