١٣٧٩ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌أَيُّوبُ ، عَنْ ‌هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ ، عَنْ ‌وَهْبِ بْنِ كَيْسَانَ ، عَنْ ‌جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «مَنْ أَحْيَا» أَرْضًا مَيِّتَةً فَهِيَ لَهُ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ. وَالْعَمَلُ عَلَى هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ عِنْدَ بَعْضِ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ. وَهُوَ قَوْلُ أَحْمَدَ وَإِسْحَاقَ، قَالُوا: لَهُ أَنْ يُحْيِيَ الْأَرْضَ الْمَوَاتَ بِغَيْرِ إِذْنِ السُّلْطَانِ. وَقَدْ قَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ: لَيْسَ لَهُ أَنْ يُحْيِيَهَا إِلَّا بِإِذْنِ السُّلْطَانِ. وَالْقَوْلُ الْأَوَّلُ أَصَحُّ. وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ، وَعَمْرِو بْنِ عَوْفٍ الْمُزَنِيِّ جَدِّ كَثِيرٍ، وَسَمُرَةَ. حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُوسَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا الْوَلِيدِ الطَّيَالِسِيَّ، عَنْ قَوْلِهِ: وَلَيْسَ لِعِرْقٍ ظَالِمٍ حَقٌّ، فَقَالَ: الْعِرْقُ الظَّالِمُ: الْغَاصِبُ الَّذِي يَأْخُذُ مَا لَيْسَ لَهُ، قُلْتُ: هُوَ الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي يَغْرِسُ فِي أَرْضِ غَيْرِهِ؟ قَالَ: هُوَ ذَاكَ.

Commentary

Most of the scholars are of the view that if a cultivator cultivates barren and uncultivated land, which belongs to no one, it belongs to him. In the view of Imām Mālik, this land should be away from any habitation where it is not needed for common use of the community.
