حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مَعْمَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ، حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنٌ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، أَنَّ أَبَا سَلَمَةَ

حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّهُ، كَانَتْ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ أُنَاسٍ خُصُومَةٌ، فَذَكَرَ لِعَائِشَةَ رضى الله عنها فَقَالَتْ: يَا أَبَا سَلَمَةَ اجْتَنِبِ الأَرْضَ، فَإِنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «مَنْ ظَلَمَ قِيدَ شِبْرٍ مِنَ الأَرْضِ طُوِّقَهُ مِنْ سَبْعِ أَرَضِينَ»

That there was a dispute between him and some people (about a piece of land). When he told Aishah about it, she said, “O Abu Salamah! Avoid taking the land unjustly, for the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said, ‘Whoever usurps even one span of the land of somebody, his neck will be encircled with it down the seven earths.’”

আবূ সালামাহ (রহ.) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বর্ণনা করেন যে, তাঁর এবং কয়েকজন লোকের মধ্যে একটি বিবাদ ছিল। ‘আয়িশাহ (রাযি.)-এর কাছে উল্লেখ করা হলে তিনি বললেন, হে আবূ সালামাহ! জমির ব্যাপারে সতর্ক থাক। কেননা, নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেন, যে ব্যক্তি এক বিঘত জমি অন্যায়ভাবে নিয়ে নেয়, (কিয়ামতের দিন) এর সাত তবক জমি তার গলায় লটকিয়ে দেয়া হবে। (৩১৯৫)

ہم سے ابومعمر نے بیان کیا، انہوں نے کہا کہ ہم سے عبدالوارث نے بیان کیا، ان سے حسین نے بیان کیا، ان سے یحییٰ بن ابی کثیر نے کہ مجھ سے محمد بن ابراہیم نے بیان کیا، ان سے ابوسلمہ نے بیان کیا کہ ان کے اور بعض دوسرے لوگوں کے درمیان ( زمین کا ) جھگڑا تھا۔

اس کا ذکر انہوں نے عائشہ رضی اللہ عنہا سے کیا تو انہوں نے بتلایا، ابوسلمہ! زمین سے پرہیز کر نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا، اگر کسی شخص نے ایک بالشت بھر زمین بھی کسی دوسرے کی ظلم سے لے لی تو سات زمینوں کا طوق ( قیامت کے دن ) اس کے گردن میں ڈالا جائے گا۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abu Ma'mar] telah menceritakan kepada kami ['Abdul Warits] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Husain] dari [Yahya bin Abi Katsir] berkata, telah menceritakan kepadaku [Muhammad bin Ibrahim] bahwa [Abu Salamah] menceritakan kepadanya bahwa dia pernah bertengkar dengan seseorang lalu diceritakan hal ini kepada 'Aisyah radliallahu 'anha, maka ['Aisyah radliallahu 'anha] berkata: "Wahai Abu Salamah hindarkanlah bertengkar dalam urusan tanah karena Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam pernah bersabda: "Siapa yang pernah berbuat aniaya sejengkal saja (dalam perkara tanah) maka nanti dia akan dibebani (dikalungkan pada lehernya) tanah dari tujuh petala bumi

Muhammed b. İbrahim'den rivayet edildiğine göre, Ebu Seleme ona, kendisinin bazı insanlarla arsa yüzünden sorunlarının olduğunu, bunu Hz. Aişe r.anha'ya anlatınca onun şöyle dediğini haber vermiştir: "Ey Ebu Seleme, o arsadan uzak dur. Çünkü Nebi Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem, "Her kim, bir karış dahi olsa (gasben başkasının) arazisinin sınırlarına haksız olduğu halde girerse, yedi kat yerin dibine kadar boynuna dolandırılarak cezalandırılır" buyurmuştur

What it means

It is prohibited for one to take the property of another except with his consent, particularly the unjust seizure of land because it usually lasts for a long time. Hence, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said that whoever unjustly seizes a piece of land of any size would be severely punished on the Day of Judgment; his neck would be long and thick enough to be encircled with the seized land down the seven earths in retribution for what he did to the owner of that land.

This threat does not apply to the use of public lands without seizing or occupying them. In his book Al-Mughni, Ibn Qudāmah said: "With regard to streets, roadways and alleys, no one has the right to develop that land (such as building on it and other activities by which it would become someone’s property), whether they are wide or narrow, and whether that results in less space for people or not, because such spaces are shared by Muslims and their interests are connected to them; so it is more akin to their mosques.

It is permissible to benefit from such spaces by sitting there to buy and sell, in a way that does not cause any annoyance to anyone or harm the passers-by, because people in all countries and at all times have approved of people doing that, without denouncing it; and because it is a kind of permissible usage, provided that it does not result in any harm. So it is allowed, like passing through.
