22. Musāqah
٢٢۔ كتاب المساقاة
Anything that is consumed from ones planting vegetation is charity for him
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Never does a Muslim plants a tree except that he has the reward of charity for him, for what is eaten out of that is charity; what is stolen out of that, what the beasts eat out of that, what the birds eat out of that is charity for him. (In short) none incurs a loss to him but it becomes a charity on his part."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمٍ يَغْرِسُ غَرْسًا إِلاَّ كَانَ مَا أُكِلَ مِنْهُ لَهُ صَدَقَةٌ، وَمَا سُرِقَ مِنْهُ لَهُ صَدَقَةٌ، وَمَا أَكَلَ السَّبُعُ مِنْهُ فَهُوَ لَهُ صَدَقَةٌ، وَمَا أَكَلَتِ الطَّيْرُ فَهُوَ لَهُ صَدَقَةً، وَلاَ يَرْزَؤُهُ أَحَدٌ إِلاَّ كَانَ لَهُ صَدَقَةٌ»
that the Prophet ﷺ entered the orchard belonging to Umm Mubashshir, an Ansari woman, and asked her, "Who has planted these trees of dates? A Muslim or a non-Muslim?" She said: A Muslim, of course. He then said: "Never a Muslim plants, or cultivates a land, and it out of that men eat, or the animals eat, or anything else eats, but that becomes charity on his (planter's) behalf."
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ دَخَلَ عَلَى أُمِّ مُبَشِّرٍ الأَنْصَارِيَّةِ فِي نَخْلٍ لَهَا فَقَالَ لَهَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: «مَنْ غَرَسَ هَذَا النَّخْلَ؟ أَمُسْلِمٌ أَمْ كَافِرٌ؟» فَقَالَتْ: بَلْ مُسْلِمٌ۔ فَقَالَ: «لاَ يَغْرِسُ مُسْلِمٌ غَرْسًا وَلاَ يَزْرَعُ زَرْعًا فَيَأْكُلَ مِنْهُ إِنْسَانٌ وَلاَ دَابَّةٌ وَلاَ شَىْءٌ إِلاَّ كَانَتْ لَهُ صَدَقَةٌ»
I heard Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying: Never does a Muslim plant, or cultivate, but has reward for him for what the beasts eat, or the birds eat or anything else eats out of that.
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لاَ يَغْرِسُ رَجُلٌ مُسْلِمٌ غَرْسًا وَلاَ زَرْعًا فَيَأْكُلَ مِنْهُ سَبُعٌ أَوْ طَائِرٌ أَوْ شَىْءٌ إِلاَّ كَانَ لَهُ فِيهِ أَجْرٌ وَقَالَ ابْنُ أَبِي خَلَفٍ طَائِرٌ شَىْءٌ
the Prophet ﷺ visited the orchard of Umm Mabad and said: "Umm Ma'bad. he who has planted this tree? is he a Muslim or a non-Muslim?" She said: Of course, he is a Muslim. He said: "No Muslim who plants (trees) and from their fruits the human beings or the beasts or birds eat, but that would be taken as an act of charity on the Day of Resurrection."
دَخَلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَلَى أُمِّ مَعْبَدٍ حَائِطًا فَقَالَ: «يَا أُمَّ مَعْبَدٍ، مَنْ غَرَسَ هَذَا النَّخْلَ؟ أَمُسْلِمٌ أَمْ كَافِرٌ؟» فَقَالَتْ: بَلْ مُسْلِمٌ۔ قَالَ: «فَلاَ يَغْرِسُ الْمُسْلِمُ غَرْسًا فَيَأْكُلَ مِنْهُ إِنْسَانٌ وَلاَ دَابَّةٌ وَلاَ طَيْرٌ إِلاَّ كَانَ لَهُ صَدَقَةً إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ»
This hadith is transmitted on the authority of Abu Muawiya (but With a slight change of words).
عَنْ جَابِرٍ زَادَ عَمْرٌو فِي رِوَايَتِهِ عَنْ عَمَّارٍ وَأَبُو كُرَيْبٍ فِي رِوَايَتِهِ عَنْ أَبِي مُعَاوِيَةَ فَقَالاَ عَنْ أُمِّ مُبَشِّرٍ وَفَى رِوَايَةِ ابْنِ فُضَيْلٍ عَنِ امْرَأَةِ زَيْدِ بْنِ حَارِثَةَ وَفِي رِوَايَةِ إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ أَبِي مُعَاوِيَةَ قَالَ رُبَّمَا قَالَ عَنْ أُمِّ مُبَشِّرٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَرُبَّمَا لَمْ يَقُلْ وَكُلُّهُمْ قَالُوا عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِنَحْوِ حَدِيثِ عَطَاءٍ وَأَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ وَعَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ
Anas reported Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying Never does a Muslim plant trees or cultivate land and birds or a man or a beast eat out of them but that is a charity on his behalf.
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمٍ يَغْرِسُ غَرْسًا أَوْ يَزْرَعُ زَرْعًا فَيَأْكُلُ مِنْهُ طَيْرٌ أَوْ إِنْسَانٌ أَوْ بَهِيمَةٌ إِلاَّ كَانَ لَهُ بِهِ صَدَقَةٌ
Who planted this palm-a Muslim or an unbelievers The rest of the hadith is the same.
أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ ﷺ دَخَلَ نَخْلاً لأُمِّ مُبَشِّرٍ امْرَأَةٍ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَنْ غَرَسَ هَذَا النَّخْلَ أَمُسْلِمٌ أَمْ كَافِرٌ قَالُوا مُسْلِمٌ بِنَحْوِ حَدِيثِهِمْ
