Hadith 12
Business Transactions
Narrated 'Urwa bin az-Zubair (RA):
A man among the Companions of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: "Two men brought a dispute before Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) concerning a land in which one of them had planted palm trees and the land belonged to the other. So, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ruled that the land belongs to its owner, and commanded the owner of the palm trees to uproot his palm trees. He said, "The labor of an unjust person has no right." [Reported by Abu Dawud and its chain of narrators is Hasan (good). The last (quoted) part of the aforesaid Hadith is found in the books of the collections of as-Sunan, from 'Urwa's narration on the authority of Sa'id bin Zaid.
وَعَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ اَلزُّبَيْرِ قَالَ: قَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ اَلصَّحَابَةِ; مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اَللَّهِ - صلى الله عليه وسلم -{ إِنَّ رَجُلَيْنِ اِخْتَصَمَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اَللَّهِ - صلى الله عليه وسلم -فِي أَرْضٍ, غَرَسَ أَحَدُهُمَا فِيهَا نَخْلًا, وَالْأَرْضُ لِلْآخَرِ, فَقَضَى رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ - صلى الله عليه وسلم -بِالْأَرْضِ لِصَاحِبِهَا, وَأَمَرَ صَاحِبَ اَلنَّخْلِ أَنْ يُخْرِجَ نَخْلَهُ. وَقَالَ: " لَيْسَ لِعِرْقٍ ظَالِمٍ حَقٌّ } رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُدَ, وَإِسْنَادُهُ حَسَنٌ [1] . وَآخِرُهُ عِنْدَ أَصْحَابِ " اَلسُّنَنِ " مِنْ رِوَايَةِ عُرْوَةَ, عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ.
