عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اَللَّهُ عَنْهَا-;
أَنَّ اَلنَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «مَنْ عَمَّرَ أَرْضاً لَيْسَتْ لِأَحَدٍ، فَهُوَ أَحَقُّ بِهَا» قَالَ عُرْوَةُ: وَقَضَى بِهِ عُمَرُ فِي خِلَافَتِهِ
The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: “He who develops land that does not belong to anyone, has the most right to it.” Urwa said that Umar ruled according to that during his caliphate.
