English translation

3074. It was narrated from Yahyā bin 'Urwah from his father, that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Whoever revives dead land, it is his." He mentioned something similar, then he said: "The one who narrated this Hadith to me said: 'Two men referred a dispute to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, one of whom had planted palm trees on the land of the other. He ruled that the land belonged to the owner of the land, and he ordered the owner of the palm trees to take his trees out.' He said: 'I saw them when their roots were being struck with the hoe, and they were fully grown, until they were removed.'" (Da'if)

3074 - حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَةُ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ يَعْنِي ابْنَ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: «مَنْ أَحْيَا أَرْضًا مَيْتَةً فَهِيَ لَهُ» وَذَكَرَ مِثْلَهُ، قَالَ: فَلَقَدْ خَبَّرَنِي الَّذِي حَدَّثَنِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ أَنَّ رَجُلَيْنِ اخْتَصَمَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، غَرَسَ أَحَدُهُمَا نَخْلًا فِي أَرْضِ الْآخَرِ، فَقَضَى لِصَاحِبِ الْأَرْضِ بِأَرْضِهِ، وَأَمَرَ صَاحِبَ النَّخْلِ أَنْ يُخْرِجَ نَخْلَهُ مِنْهَا، قَالَ: فَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُهَا وَإِنَّهَا لَتُضْرَبُ أُصُولُهَا بِالْفُؤُوسِ، وَإِنَّهَا لَنَخْلٌ عُمٌّ، حَتَّى أُخْرِجَتْ مِنْهَا،
