Bayhaqi 11821 — What counts as reviving land, and the reward hoped
اُردوEn
وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدٍ، ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ، ثنا الْحَسَنُ، ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ، ثنا ابْنُ مُبَارَكٍ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ نَجِيحٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ " جَعَلَ التَّحَجُّرَ ثَلَاثَ سِنِينَ، فَإِنْ تَرَكَهَا حَتَّى يَمْضِيَ ثَلَاثُ سِنِينَ فَأَحْيَاهَا غَيْرُهُ فَهُوَ أَحَقُّ بِهَا ".
It is reported from Amr bin Shu'ayb (may Allah have mercy on him) that Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) fixed the period for marking off land at three years. So if he leaves it until three years pass, and then someone other than that man revives it, he is more entitled to it.
