46. Oppressions
٤٦۔ كتاب المظالم
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). "
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَنْ ظَلَمَ مِنَ الأَرْضِ شَيْئًا طُوِّقَهُ مِنْ سَبْعِ أَرَضِينَ
Punishment of unjust land grab
There was a dispute between him and some people, so he mentioned it to Aishah. She said: O Abū Salamah, avoid ˹taking anything of the˺ land, for the Prophet ﷺ said: "Whoever wrongfully takes even a handspan of land will be encircled with it with the seven earths."
أَنَّهُ كَانَتْ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ أُنَاسٍ خُصُومَةٌ. فَذَكَرَ لِعَائِشَةَ ؓ, فَقَالَتْ: يَا أَبَا سَلَمَةَ اجْتَنِبِ الأَرْضَ, فَإِنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ: «مَنْ ظَلَمَ قِيدَ شِبْرٍ مِنَ الأَرْضِ طُوِّقَهُ مِنْ سَبْعِ أَرَضِينَ».
The Prophet ﷺ said, "Whoever takes a piece of the land of others unjustly, he will sink down the seven earths on the Day of Resurrection."
قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مَنْ أَخَذَ مِنَ الأَرْضِ شَيْئًا بِغَيْرِ حَقِّهِ خُسِفَ بِهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ إِلَى سَبْعِ أَرَضِينَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ لَيْسَ بِخُرَاسَانَ فِي كِتَابِ ابْنِ الْمُبَارَكِ أَمْلاَهُ عَلَيْهِمْ بِالْبَصْرَةِ
