Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْمُبَارَكِ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، كَانَتْ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ أُنَاسٍ خُصُومَةٌ فِي أَرْضٍ، فَدَخَلَ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ فَذَكَرَ لَهَا ذَلِكَ، فَقَالَتْ يَا أَبَا سَلَمَةَ اجْتَنِبِ الأَرْضَ، فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏"‏ مَنْ ظَلَمَ قِيدَ شِبْرٍ طُوِّقَهُ مِنْ سَبْعِ أَرَضِينَ ‏"‏‏.‏

Translation

ʿAli ibn ʿAbd Allah informed us: Ibn ʿUlayya informed us, from ʿAli ibn al-Mubarak: Yahya ibn Abi Kathir narrated to us, from Muhammad ibn Ibrahim ibn al-Harith, from Abu Salama ibn ʿAbd al-Rahman, who had a dispute with some people over land. He went to ʿAʾisha and told her about it. She said, ‘Abu Salama, stay away from the land, for the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Whoever wrongfully takes even a handspan of land, it will be made a collar around his neck reaching down through seven earths.”’
