That he asked for a salt flat called the Ma'rib Dam to be given to him, and it was given to him. Then Aqra bin Habis At-Tamimi came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: “O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, I used to come to the salt flat during the Ignorance period and it was in a land in which there was no water, and whoever came to it took from it. It was (plentiful) like flowing water.” So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked Abyad bin Hammal to give back his share of the salt flat. He said: “I give it to you on the basis that you make it charity given by me.” The Messenger of Allah said: “It is a charity from you, and it is like flowing water, whoever comes to it may take from it.”(One of the narrators) Faraj said: “That is how it is today, whoever comes to it takes from it.” He said: “The Prophet ﷺ gave him land and palm trees in Jurf Murad instead, when he took back the salt flat from him.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 2475)
أَنَّهُ اسْتَقْطَعَ الْمِلْحَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ الَّذِي يُقَالُ لَهُ مِلْحُ سدِّ ِمَأْرِبَ فَأَقْطَعَهُ ثُمَّ إِنَّ الْأَقْرَعَ بْنَ حَابِسٍ التَّمِيمِيَّ قَالَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ إِنِّي قَدْ وَرَدْتُ الْمِلْحَ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ وَهُوَ بِأَرْضٍ لَيْسَ بِهَا مَاءٌ وَمَنْ وَرَدَهُ أَخَذَهُ وَهُوَ مِثْلُ مَاءِ الْعِدِّ فَاسْتَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ الْأَبْيَضَ فِي قَطِيعَتِهِ فِي الْمِلْحِ فَقُلْتُ قَدْ أَقَلْتُهُ عَلَى أَنْ تَجْعَلَهُ مِنِّي صَدَقَةً فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «هُوَ مِنْكَ صَدَقَةٌ وَهُوَ مِثْلُ مَاءِ الْعِدِّ مَنْ وَرَدَهُ أَخَذَهُ» قَالَ وَقَطَعَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَرْضًا وَنَخْلًا َكَذَا بِالْجَوْفِ جَوْفِ مُرَادٍ مَكَانَهُ حِينَ أَقَالَهُ مِنْهُ قَالَ الْفَرَجُ فَهُوَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ مَنْ وَرَدَهُ أَخَذَهُ
[Machine] It is narrated that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ distributed a piece of land. He said, "Send Muawiyah with me." He said, "Give it to him." Yahya narrated to us, Muhammad ibn Bashshar narrated to us, Gündar narrated to us about this narration.
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَقْطَعَهُ أَرْضًا قَالَ فَأَرْسَلَ مَعِي مُعَاوِيَةَ قَالَ «أَعْطِهَا إِيَّاهُ» قَالَ يَحْيَى حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ حَدَّثَنَا غُنْدَرٌ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ
