English translation

[4134] 139 - (...) It was narrated from Hishâm bin 'Urwah, from his father, that Arwâ bint Uwais claimed that Sa'eed bin Zaid had taken some of her land, and she referred her dispute with him to Marwân bin Al-Ḥakam. Sa'eed said: "Would I take any of her land after what I heard from the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ?" He said: "What did you hear from the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ?" He said: "I heard the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ say: 'Whoever takes a handspan of land unlawfully, his neck will be shackled to seven earths.'" Marwân said to him: "I will not ask you for any proof after this." He (Sa'eed) said: "O Allâh, if she is lying then make her eyes blind and cause her to die in her own land.” And she did not die until her sight was gone, then while she was walking on her land she fell into a pit and died.

139 - (1610) حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الرَّبِيعِ الْعَتَكِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ أَرْوَى بِنْتَ أُوَيْسٍ، ادَّعَتْ عَلَى سَعِيدِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ أَنَّهُ أَخَذَ شَيْئًا مِنْ أَرْضِهَا، فَخَاصَمَتْهُ إِلَى مَرْوَانَ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ، فَقَالَ سَعِيدٌ: أَنَا كُنْتُ آخُذُ مِنْ أَرْضِهَا شَيْئًا بَعْدَ الَّذِي سَمِعْتُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: وَمَا سَمِعْتَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ؟ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، يَقُولُ: «مَنْ أَخَذَ شِبْرًا مِنَ الْأَرْضِ ظُلْمًا، طُوِّقَهُ إِلَى سَبْعِ أَرَضِينَ»، فَقَالَ لَهُ مَرْوَانُ: لَا أَسْأَلُكَ بَيِّنَةً بَعْدَ هَذَا، فَقَالَ: «اللهُمَّ، إِنْ كَانَتْ كَاذِبَةً فَعَمِّ بَصَرَهَا، وَاقْتُلْهَا فِي أَرْضِهَا»، قَالَ: «فَمَا مَاتَتْ حَتَّى ذَهَبَ بَصَرُهَا، ثُمَّ بَيْنَا هِيَ تَمْشِي فِي أَرْضِهَا، إِذْ وَقَعَتْ فِي حُفْرَةٍ فَمَاتَتْ»
