حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْحُلْوَانِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو تَوْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ، أَبِي كَثِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " مَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ أَرْضٌ فَلْيَزْرَعْهَا أَوْ لِيَمْنَحْهَا أَخَاهُ فَإِنْ أَبَى فَلْيُمْسِكْ أَرْضَهُ " .

Hasan ibn Ali al-Hulwani narrated to us; Abu Tawbah narrated to us; Muawiyah narrated to us, from Yahya ibn Abi Kathir, from Abu Salamah ibn Abd al-Rahman, from Abu Hurayrah, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever has land should cultivate it or grant its use to his brother. If he refuses, let him keep his land.
