باب إحياء الموات والشرب
Mishkat al-Masabih 3003
Tawus, in mursal form, reported Allah's Messenger ﷺ as saying, “If anyone cultivates barren land it belongs to him, but ancient property belongs to Allah and His Messenger and then comes to you from me.” Shafi‘i transmitted it.
وَعَنْ طَاوُسٍ مُرْسَلًا: أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «من أحيى مَوَاتًا مِنَ الْأَرْضِ فَهُوَ لَهُ وَعَادِيُّ الْأَرْضِ لِلَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ ثُمَّ هِيَ لَكُمْ مِنِّي» . رَوَاهُ الشَّافِعِي
