The Consequences of Unjust Land Acquisition

SUMMARY: Taking land unjustly is a grave sin and will be punished severely on the Day of Resurrection.

Narrated Salim's father (ie 'Abdullah): The Prophet said, "Whoever takes a piece of the land of others unjustly, he will sink down the seven earths on the Day of Resurrection".
حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ عُقْبَةَ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ‏ "‏ مَنْ أَخَذَ مِنَ الأَرْضِ شَيْئًا بِغَيْرِ حَقِّهِ خُسِفَ بِهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ إِلَى سَبْعِ أَرَضِينَ ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ لَيْسَ بِخُرَاسَانَ فِي كِتَابِ ابْنِ الْمُبَارَكِ، أَمْلاَهُ عَلَيْهِمْ بِالْبَصْرَةِ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith, narrated by Salim's father ('Abdullah) speaks about the consequences of taking land unjustly. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ warned that anyone who takes a piece of land from someone else without their permission will be severely punished on the Day of Resurrection. He said that such people would sink down into seven earths, which implies an extremely harsh punishment. This hadith teaches us to always act with justice and fairness when it comes to acquiring land or any other property, as Allah does not approve of injustice in any form. We should also remember that all our actions have consequences and we must take responsibility for them in this life and the hereafter.
