41.15 Cultivating the neglected land

٤١۔١٥ باب مَنْ أَحْيَا أَرْضًا مَوَاتًا

[Machine] "And Ali saw that in the land of ruins in Kufa there was a place of burial. Umar said, 'Whoever brings life to dead land, it belongs to him.' It is narrated from Amr ibn Awf from the Prophet ﷺ, he said: 'There is no right for a non-Muslim, nor does any oppressor have any right'. It is also narrated from Jabir from the Prophet ﷺ."

وَرَأَى ذَلِكَ عَلِيٌّ فِي أَرْضِ الْخَرَابِ بِالْكُوفَةِ مَوَاتٌ. وَقَالَ عُمَرُ مَنْ أَحْيَا أَرْضًا مَيِّتَةً فَهْيَ لَهُ. وَيُرْوَى عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ عَوْفٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَقَالَ: «فِي غَيْرِ حَقِّ مُسْلِمٍ، وَلَيْسَ لِعِرْقٍ ظَالِمٍ فِيهِ حَقٌّ». وَيُرْوَى فِيهِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ.

The Prophet ﷺ said, "He who cultivates land that does not belong to anybody is more rightful (to own it)." ʿUrwa said, "ʿUmar gave the same verdict in his Caliphate."  

البخاري:٢٣٣٥حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ؓ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ أَعْمَرَ أَرْضًا لَيْسَتْ لأَحَدٍ فَهْوَ أَحَقُّ قَالَ عُرْوَةُ قَضَى بِهِ عُمَرُ ؓ فِي خِلاَفَتِهِ
