Caution: Translations of Quran and Ḥadīth may lead to possible misapplications and misinterpretations. This site is intended for students of sacred knowledge that are proficient in comprehending classical Arabic and have a strong foundation in Islamic sciences. Also note that religious injunctions rely on several aspects beyond what one may glean through reading individual aḥādīth.

A convert has more right to his land and wealth

ahmad:18778Wakīʿ > Abān b. ʿAbdullāh al-Bajalī > ʿumūmatī > Ṣakhr b. ʿAylah

[AI] Some people from Banu Sulaym fled from their land when Islam came, so I took it. Then they accepted Islam and disputed with me over it before the Prophet ﷺ, so he returned it to them and said: "When a man accepts Islam, he has more right to his land and wealth."

أحمد:١٨٧٧٨حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ حَدَّثَنَا أَبَانُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْبَجَلِيُّ حَدَّثَنِي عُمُومَتِي عَنْ جَدِّهِمْ صَخْرِ بْنِ عَيْلَةَ

أَنَّ قَوْمًا مِنْ بَنِي سُلَيْمٍ فَرُّوا عَنْ أَرْضِهِمْ حِينَ جَاءَ الْإِسْلَامُ، فَأَخَذْتُهَا، فَأَسْلَمُوا، فَخَاصَمُونِي فِيهَا إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ، فَرَدَّهَا عَلَيْهِمْ، وَقَالَ: «إِذَا أَسْلَمَ الرَّجُلُ فَهُوَ أَحَقُّ بِأَرْضِهِ وَمَالِهِ».
