CHAPTER: Allocation Of Land.
Narrated Alqamah ibn Wail: The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم bestowed land in Hadramawt as fief.
The tradition mentioned above has also been transmitted by Alqamah bin Wail through a different chain of narrators. ”
Narrated Amr ibn Hurayth: The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم demarcated a house with a bow at Madina for me. He said: I shall give you more. I shall give you more.
Narrated Rabiah ibn Abu Abdur Rahman: Rabiah reported on the authority of more than one person saying: The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم assigned as a fief to Bilal ibn al-Harith al-Muzani the mines of al-Qabaliyyah which is in the neighbourhood of al-Fur', and only zakat is levied on those mines up to the present day.
Narrated Amr ibn Awf al-Muzani: The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم assigned as a fief to Bilal ibn al-Muzani the mines of al-Qabaliyyah both which lay on the upper side and which lay on the lower side, and (the land) which was suitable for cultivation at Quds. He did not give him (the land which involved) the right of a Muslim. The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم wrote a document for him. It goes: In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful. This is what the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم assigned to Bilal ibn Harith al-Muzani. He gave him the mines of al-Qabaliyyah, both which lay on the upper side and which lay on the lower side, and (the land) which is suitable for cultivation at Quds. He did not give him the right of any Muslim. Abu Uwais said: A similar tradition has been narrated to me by Thawr bin Zaid, client of Banu al-Dail bin Bakr bin Kinahah from Ikrimah on the authority of Ibn Abbas.
Narrated Amr ibn Awf al-Muzani: The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم assigned as a fief to Bilal ibn Harith al-Muzani the mines of al-Qabaliyyah, both those which lay on the upper side those and which lay on the lower side. The narrator, Ibn an-Nadr, added: also Jars and Dhat an-Nusub. The agreed version reads: and (the land) which is suitable for cultivation at Quds . He did not assign to Bilal ibn al-Harith the right of any Muslim. The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم wrote a document to him: This is what the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم assigned to Bilal ibn al-Harith al-Muzani. He gave him the mines of al-Qabaliyyah both those which lay on the upper and lower side, and that which is fit for cultivation at Quds. He did not give him the right of any Muslim. The narrator Abu Uways said: A similar tradition has been transmitted to me by Thawr ibn Zayd from Ikrimah on the authority of Ibn Abbas from the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم. Ibn an-Nadr added: Ubayy ibn Kab wrote it.
Narrated Abyad ibn Hammal: Abyad went to the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم and asked him for assigning him (the mines of) salt as fief. (The narrator Ibn al-Mutawakkil said: which was in Ma'arib. ) So he assigned it to him as a fief. When he returned, a man in the meeting asked: Do you know what you have assigned him as a fief? You have assigned him the perennial spring water. So he took it back from him. He asked him about protecting land which had arak trees growing in it. He replied: He could have such as was beyond the region where the hoofs (of camels) went. The narrator Ibn al-Mutwakkil said: that is the camel hoofs.
Muhammad bin Al hasan Al Mukhzumi said “The sentence “that which is not reached by the Camel hoofs” means that the Camels eat (the arak trees) within the reach of their heads. So the land (where the arak trees are growing) may be protected beyond such a region.
Narrated Abyad ibn Hammal: He asked the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم for giving him some land which had arak trees growing in it. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: There is no (permission for) protecting a land which has arak trees growing in it. He said: These arak trees are within the boundaries of my field. The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: There is no (permission for) protecting a land which has arak trees growing in it. The narrator Faraj said: By the phrase 'within the boundaries of my field' he meant the land which had crop growing in it and was surrounded on four sides.
Narrated Sakhr ibn al-Ayla al-Ahmasi: The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم raided Thaqif. When Sakhr heard this, he proceeded on his horse along with some horsemen to support the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم. He found the Prophet of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم had returned and he did not conquer (Taif). On that day Sakhr made a covenant with Allah and had His protection that he would not depart from that fortress until they (the inhabitants) surrendered to the command of the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم. He did not leave them until they had surrendered to the command of the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم. Sakhr then wrote to him: To proceed: Thaqif have surrendered to your command, Messenger of Allah, and I am on my way to them. They have horses with them. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم then ordered prayers to be offered in congregation. He then prayed for Ahmas ten times: O Allah, send blessings the horses and the men of Ahmas. The people came and Mughirah ibn Shubah said to him: Prophet of Allah, Sakhr took my paternal aunt while she embraced Islam like other Muslims. He called him and said: Sakhr, when people embrace Islam, they have security of their blood and property. Give back to Mughirah his paternal aunt. So he returned his aunt to him and asked the Prophet of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم: What about Banu Sulaym who have run away for (fear of) Islam and left that water? He said: Prophet of Allah, allow me and my people to settle there. He said: Yes. So he allowed him to settle there. Banu Sulaym then embraced Islam, and they came to Sakhr. They asked him to return their water to them. But he refused. So they came to the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم and said: Prophet of Allah, we embraced Islam and came to Sakhr so that he might return our water to us. But he has refused. He (the Prophet) then came to him and said: When people embrace Islam, they secure their properties and blood. Return to the people their water. He said: Yes, Prophet of Allah. I saw that the face of the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم was reddening at that moment, being ashamed of taking back from him the slave-girl and the water.
Narrated Saburah ibn Mabad al-Juhani: The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم alighted at a place where a mosque has been built under a large tree. He tarried there for three days, and then proceeded to Tabuk. Juhaynah met him on a wide plain. He asked them: who are the people of Dhul-Marwah? They replied: Banu Rifaah of Juhaynah. He said: I have given this (land) to Banu Rifaah as a fief. Therefore, they divided it. Some of them sold (their share) and others retained and worked on it. (Sub-narrator Ibn Wahab said: I then asked Abdul Aziz about this tradition. He narrated a part of it to me and did not narrate it in full.
Narrated Asma daughter of Abu Bakr: The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم assigned to az-Zubayr palm-trees as a fief.
Narrated Qaylah bint Makhramah: Abdullah ibn Hasan al-Anbari said: My grandmothers, Safiyyah and Duhaybah, narrated to me, that hey were the daughters of Ulaybah and were nourished by Qaylah, daughter of Makhramah. She was the grandmother of their father. She reported to them, saying: We came upon the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم. My companion, Hurayth ibn Hassan, came to him as a delegate from Bakr ibn Wail. He took the oath of allegiance of Islam for himself and for his people. He then said: Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم, write a document for us, giving us the land lying between us and Banu Tamim at ad-Dahna' to the effect that not one of them will cross it in our direction except a traveller or a passer-by. He said: Write down ad-Dahna' for them, boy. When I saw that he passed orders to give it to him, I became anxious, for it was my native land and my home. I said: Messenger of Allah, he did not ask you for a true border when he asked you. This land of Dahna' is a place where the camels have their home, and it is a pasture for the sheep. The women of Banu Tamim and their children are beyond it. He said: Stop, boy! A poor woman spoke the truth: a Muslim is a brother of a Muslim. Each one of them may benefit from water and trees, and they should cooperate with each other against Satan.
Narrated Asmar ibn Mudarris: I came to the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم, and took the oath of allegiance to him. He said: If anyone reaches a water which has not been approached before by any Muslim, it belongs to him. The people, therefore, went out running and marking (on the land).
Narrated Abdullah ibn Umar: The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم gave az-Zubayr the land as a fief up to the reach of his horse when he runs. He, therefore, made his horse run until it stopped. He then threw his flog. Thereupon he said: Give him (the land) up to the point where his flog has reached.
Narrated Saeed ibn Zayd: The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: If anyone brings barren land into cultivation, it belongs to him, and the unjust vein has no right.
Narrated Urwah: The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: If anyone brings barren land into cultivation, it belong to him. He then transmitted a similar tradition mentioned above (No. 3067). He (Urwah) said: One who transmitted this tradition to me said that two persons brought their dispute to the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم. One of them grew palm trees in the land of the other. He decided to return the land to its owner of the palm-trees to remove his palm-trees. He said: I saw when their roots were being struck with axes. The trees were fully grown up, but they were removed from there.
The tradition mentioned above has also been transmitted by Ibn Ishaq through a different chain of narrators and to the same effect. Instead of the phrase “one who transmitted this tradition to me” this version has “A man from among the Companions of the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم and probably he was Abu Saeed Al Khudri. I saw the man striking at the roots of the palm trees. ”
Narrated Urwah: I testify that the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم 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 صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم by those who transmitted the traditions about prayer from him.
Narrated Samurah: The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: If anyone surrounds a land with a wall, it belongs to him.
Hisham said “The unjust vein means that a man implants a tree in the land of another man so that they may be entitled to it. Malik said “The unjust vein means that a man takes (a thing) digs a pit and implants a tree without (his) right.
Abu Humaid Al Saeedi said “I went to Tabuk on an expedition along with the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم. When he reached Wadi Al Qura, he found a woman in her garden. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said to his Companions “Assess (the quantity o fruits). The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم assessed ten wasqs. ” He said to the woman “Count the produce of it. We then came to Tabuk. ” The monarch of Ailah presented a white mule as a gift to the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم. He presented a cloak as a gift o him and wrote a document for his land at sea coast. When we came to Wadi Al Qura he said to the woman “How much is the produce of your garden?” She replied “Ten wasqs which the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم had assessed. ” The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said “I am going quickly to Madeenah if any of you intend to go quickly with me, he should make haste. ”
Narrated Zaynab: She was picking lice from the head of the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم while the wife of Uthman ibn Affan and the immigrant women were with him. They complained about their houses that they had been narrowed down to them and they were evicted from them. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ordered that the houses of the Immigrants should be given to their wives. Thereafter Abdullah ibn Masud died, and his wife inherited his house in Madina.
