24. Chapter
٢٤۔ كِتَابُ الْغَصْبِ
Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever usurps the land of somebody unjustly, his neck will be encircled with it down the seven earths (on the Day of Resurrection). " (Using translation from Bukhārī 2452)
سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَنْ ظَلَمَ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ شَيْئًا فَإِنَّهُ يُطَوَّقُهُ مِنْ سَبْعِ أَرَضِينَ
He who wrongly took a span of land, Allah shall make him carry around his neck seven earths. (Using translation from Muslim 1610a)
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ مَنِ اقْتَطَعَ شِبْرًا مِنَ الْأَرْضِ ظُلْمًا طَوَّقَهُ اللهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مِنْ سَبْعِ أَرَضِينَ
How could I take a part of her land, after what I heard from Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon'him)? He (Marwan) said: What did you hear from Messenger of Allah ﷺ? He said: I heard Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: He who wrongly took a span of land would be made to wear around his neck seven earths. Marwan said: I do not ask any evidence from you after this. He (Sa'id) said: O Allah, make her blind if she has told a lie and kill her in her own land. He (the narrator) said: She did not die until she had lost her eyesight, and (one day) as she was walking in her land, she fell down into a pit and died. (Using translation from Muslim 1610c)
سَعِيدٌ أَنَا كُنْتُ آخُذُ مِنْ أَرْضِهَا شَيْئًا بَعْدَ الَّذِي سَمِعْتُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ وَمَاذَا سَمِعْتَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ؟ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ 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
I heard Allah's Apostle ﷺ say: He who took a span of earth wrongly would be made to wear around his neck seven earths on the Day of Resurrection. (Using translation from Muslim 1610d)
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَنْ ظَلَمَ قِيدَ شِبْرٍ مِنْ أَرْضٍ طُوِّقَهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مِنْ سَبْعِ أَرَضِينَ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever oppresses even to the extent of a hand span on the earth, his neck will be encircled by seven earths on the Day of Resurrection."
رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ ظَلَمَ قِيدَ شِبْرٍ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ طُوِّقَهُ مِنْ سَبْعِ أَرَضِينَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ
[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said: "Whoever takes a span of land unjustly will be surrounded by it from seven lands."
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ أَخَذَ شِبْرًا مِنَ الْأَرْضِ بِغَيْرِ حَقِّهِ طُوِّقَهُ مِنْ سَبْعِ أَرَضِينَ
I was in the company of 'Ali b. Abi Talib, when a person came to him, and said: What was it that Allah's Apostle ﷺ told you in secret? Thereupon he (liadrat 'All) was enraged and said: Allah's Apostle ﷺ did not tell me anything in secret that he hid from people, except that he told me four things. He said: Com- mader of Faithful, what are these? He said: Allah cursed him who cursed his father; Allah cursed him who sacrificed for anyone besides Allah; and Allah cursed him who accommodates an innovator (in religion) ; and Allah cursed him who changed the minarets (the boundary lines) of the land. (Using translation from Muslim 1978a)
مَا كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يُسِرُّ إِلَيْكَ؟ قَالَ فَغَضِبَ وَقَالَ مَا كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يُسِرُّ إِلِيَّ شَيْئًا كَتَمَهُ النَّاسَ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ حَدَّثَنِي بِكَلِمَاتٍ أَرْبَعٍ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ مَا هُنَّ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ؟ قَالَ قَالَ لَعَنَ اللهُ مَنْ لَعَنَ وَالِدَهُ لَعَنَ اللهُ مَنْ ذَبَحَ لِغَيْرِ اللهِ لَعَنَ اللهُ مَنْ آوَى مُحْدِثًا لَعَنَ اللهُ مَنْ غَيَّرَ مَنَارَ الْأَرْضِ لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ الْخُسْرَوْجِرْدِيِّ
