عَن عُرْوَة بن الزبير أَنَّ سَعِيدُ بْنُ زَيْدِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ نُفَيْلٍ خاصمته أروى بنت أويس إِلَى مَرْوَانَ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ وَادَّعَتْ أَنَّهُ أَخَذَ شَيْئًا مِنْ أَرْضِهَا فَقَالَ سَعِيدٌ أَنَا كُنْتُ آخُذُ مِنْ أَرْضِهَا شَيْئًا بَعْدَ الَّذِي سَمِعْتُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ وماذا سَمِعْتُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ مَنْ أَخَذَ شِبْرًا مِنَ الْأَرْضِ ظُلْمًا طُوِّقَهُ إِلَى سَبْعِ أَرَضِينَ فَقَالَ لَهُ مَرْوَانُ لَا أَسْأَلُكَ بَيِّنَةً بَعْدَ هَذَا فَقَالَ اللَّهُمَّ إِن كَانَت كَاذِبَة فَعم بَصَرَهَا وَاقْتُلْهَا فِي أَرْضِهَا قَالَ فَمَا مَاتَتْ حَتَّى ذهب بصرها ثمَّ بَينا هِيَ تَمْشِي فِي أَرْضِهَا إِذْ وَقَعَتْ فِي حُفْرَةٍ فَمَاتَتْ. مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْهِ وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ لِمُسْلِمٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ زَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ بِمَعْنَاهُ وَأَنَّهُ رَآهَا عَمْيَاءَ تَلْتَمِسُ الْجُدُرَ تَقُولُ: أَصَابَتْنِي دَعْوَةُ سَعِيدٍ وَأَنَّهَا مَرَّتْ على بئرٍ فِي الدَّار الَّتِي خاصمته فَوَقَعت فِيهَا فَكَانَت قبرها
‘Urwah ibn al-Zubayr reported that Sa‘id ibn Zayd ibn ‘Amr ibn Nufayl was taken before Marwan ibn al-Hakam in a dispute with Arwa bint Uways, who claimed that he had taken part of her land. Sa‘id said, ‘Would I take any of her land after what I heard from the Messenger of God ﷺ?’ Marwan asked, ‘What did you hear from the Messenger of God ﷺ?’ He said, ‘I heard the Messenger of God ﷺ say, “Whoever wrongfully takes a handspan of land will be encircled by it down through seven earths.”’ Marwan said, ‘After this, I will not ask you for proof.’ Sa‘id said, ‘O God, if she is lying, take her sight and let her die on her land.’ She did not die until she lost her sight. Then, as she was walking on her land, she fell into a pit and died. [Agreed upon] In a version from Muslim, related by Muhammad ibn Zayd ibn ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Umar with similar wording, he saw her blind, feeling along the walls and saying, ‘Sa‘id’s supplication has struck me.’ She passed by a well in the property over which she had disputed with him, fell into it, and it became her grave.
