Bayhaqi 18285 — Houses and lands divided in the Jahiliyyah

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدِ بْنُ أَبِي عَمْرٍو، ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، أنبأ الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ الشَّافِعِيَّ عَنْ أَهْلِ الدَّارِ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْحَرْبِ يَقْسِمُونَ الدَّارَ وَيَمْلِكُ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ عَلَى ذَلِكَ الْقَسْمِ، وَيُسْلِمُونَ ثُمَّ يُرِيدُ بَعْضُهُمْ أَنْ يَنْقُضَ ذَلِكَ الْقَسْمَ وَيَقْسِمَهُ عَلَى قَسْمِ الْأَمْوَالِ فَقَالَ: لَيْسَ ذَلِكَ لَهُ. فَقُلْتُ: وَمَا الْحُجَّةُ فِي ذَلِكَ؟ قَالَ: الِاسْتِدْلَالُ بِمَعْنَى الْإِجْمَاعِ وَالسُّنَّةِ، فَذَكَرَ مَا لَا يُؤَاخَذُونَ بِهِ مِنْ قَتْلِ بَعْضِهِمْ بَعْضًا وَسَبْيِ بَعْضِهِمْ بَعْضًا وَغَصْبِ بَعْضِهِمْ بَعْضًا، ثُمَّ قَالَ: مَعَ أَنَّهُ أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ عَنْ ثَوْرِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ الدِّيلِيِّ قَالَ: بَلَغَنِي أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " أَيُّمَا دَارٍ أَوْ أَرْضٍ قُسِمَتْ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَهِيَ عَلَى قَسْمِ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ، وَأَيُّمَا دَارٍ أَوْ أَرْضٍ أَدْرَكَهَا الْإِسْلَامُ لَمْ تُقْسَمْ فَهِيَ عَلَى قَسْمِ الْإِسْلَامِ " قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ: وَنَحْنُ نَرْوِي فِيهِ حَدِيثًا أَثْبَتَ مِنْ هَذَا، بَلَغَنِي بِمِثْلِ مَعْنَاهُ. قَالَ الشَّيْخُ: وَلَعَلَّهُ أَرَادَ مَا:.
Rabi' bin Sulayman (may Allah have mercy on him) says: I asked Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) about the people of a dwelling among the people of war (ahl al-harb) who divide the property among themselves, each owning his share by that division; then they accept Islam, and then one of them wants to undo that division and divide it according to the division of estates. He said: That is not his right. I asked for the proof, and he said: Inference from the meaning of consensus and the Sunnah, just as they are not held to account for killing one another, taking one another captive, or usurping one another's property. Thawr bin Zayd al-Dili (may Allah have mercy on him) says: It has reached me that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whatever house or land was divided in the Jahiliyyah remains upon that division of the Jahiliyyah, and whatever house or land Islam reached undivided will be divided according to the principles of Islam."
Al-Shafi'i said: We narrate on this matter a hadith more established than this, which has reached me with a similar meaning.
