Hadith 915

Narrated 'Urwa from 'Aishah (RA): The Prophet (SAW) 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. [Reported by al-Bukhari]

عَنْ عُرْوَةَ, عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ‏-رَضِيَ اَللَّهُ عَنْهَا‏-; أَنَّ اَلنَّبِيَّ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-قَالَ: { مَنْ عَمَّرَ أَرْضاً لَيْسَتْ لِأَحَدٍ, فَهُوَ أَحَقُّ بِهَا } قَالَ عُرْوَةُ: وَقَضَى بِهِ عُمَرُ فِي خِلَافَتِهِ.‏ رَوَاهُ اَلْبُخَارِيُّ <sup>1</sup>‏ .‏
