I testify that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ decided that the land is the land of Allah, and the servants are the servants of Allah. If anyone brings barren land into cultivation, he has more right to it. This tradition has been transmitted to us from the Prophet ﷺ by those who transmitted the traditions about prayer from him.

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَضَى أَنَّ الأَرْضَ أَرْضُ اللَّهِ وَالْعِبَادَ عِبَادُ اللَّهِ وَمَنْ أَحْيَا مَوَاتًا فَهُوَ أَحَقُّ بِهِ جَاءَنَا بِهَذَا عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ الَّذِينَ جَاءُوا بِالصَّلَوَاتِ عَنْهُ

[AI] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, "The earth is Allah's and the servants are Allah's, so wherever any one of you finds goodness, let him fear Allah and establish it."

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «الْأَرْضُ أَرْضُ اللهِ وَالْعِبَادُ عِبَادُ اللهِ فَحَيْثُ وَجَدَ أَحَدُكُمْ خَيْرًا فَلْيَتَّقِ اللهَ وَلْيُقِمْ»

[AI] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "The Earth is Allah's and the people are Allah's servants. So wherever any one of you finds goodness, let him be mindful of Allah and let him maintain it."

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «الْأَرْضُ أَرْضُ اللهِ وَالْعِبَادُ عِبَادُ اللهِ فَحَيْثُ وَجَدَ أَحَدُكُمْ خَيْرًا فَلْيَتَّقِ اللهَ وَلْيُقِمْ»

[AI] "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, 'The earth is Allah's land and the servants are Allah's servants. So wherever one of you finds goodness, let him fear Allah and settle there.'"

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «الْأَرْضُ أَرْضُ اللهِ وَالْعِبَادُ عِبَادُ اللهِ فَحَيْثُ وَجَدَ أَحَدُكُمْ خَيْرًا فَلْيَتَّقِ اللهَ وَلْيُقِمْ»

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The earth is Allah's and the servants are Allah's, whoever revives the dead, it is for him."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «الْأَرْضُ أَرْضُ اللهِ وَالْعِبَادُ عِبَادُ اللهِ مَنْ أَحْيَا مَوَاتًا فَهِيَ لَهُ»

I testify that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ decided that the land is the land of Allah, and the servants are the servants of Allah. If anyone brings barren land into cultivation, he has more right to it. This tradition has been transmitted to us from the Prophet ﷺ by those who transmitted the traditions about prayer from him. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3076)

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَضَى أَنَّ الْأَرْضَ أَرْضُ اللهِ وَالْعِبَادَ عِبَادُ اللهِ وَمَنْ أَحْيَا مَوَاتًا فَهُوَ أَحَقُّ بِهِ جَاءَنَا بِهَذَا عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ الَّذِينَ جَاءُونَا بِالصَّلَوَاتِ عَنْهُ

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The land belongs to Allah and the people are the servants of Allah. Whoever brings life to a dead land, it belongs to him." So, he responded to the Bedouins.

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «الْبِلَادُ بِلَادُ اللَّهِ وَالْعِبَادُ عِبَادُ اللَّهِ مَنْ أَحْيَا أَرْضًا مَيِّتَةً فَهِيَ لَهُ» فَرَدَّهَا عَلَى الْأَعْرَابِ

"الأرض أرضُ الله والعبادُ عِباد الله فَحَيثُ وجدَ أحدكم خيرًا فليتَّقِ الله وليُقِمْ".
