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 [1] .
Narrated 'Urwa from 'Aishah (RA): The Prophet (ﷺ) 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]
