It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I asked, "O Messenger of Allah! Which oppression is the greatest?" You (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A piece of land, which a man snatches from his brother's right. Whoever seizes even as much land as a pebble in this way, on the Day of Resurrection, he will be made to wear a collar reaching to the depths of the earth, and no one knows the depth of the earth except the One who created it."

Narrated by Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both, that the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Whoever seizes someone’s land unjustly will be made to sink down through seven earths.

Narrated by Sayyidna Ali bin Murrah Thaqafi (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever unjustly seizes someone else's land, he will be made to carry the soil of that place on the Day of Resurrection and bring it to the gathering.

(Second chain) It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: Whoever seizes even a handspan of land unjustly, Allah Almighty will afflict him with the punishment that he will be made to dig up that land down to seven earths, and then a collar of that (soil) will be placed around his neck until judgment is passed among the people on the Day of Resurrection.

Narrated from Sayyiduna Ash’ath bin Qais (may Allah be pleased with him) that there was a dispute between a man from Kindah and a man from Hadhramaut over a piece of land in Yemen. The man from Hadhramaut said: O Messenger of Allah! This land is mine; he and his father have wrongfully seized it. The man from Kindah said: O Messenger of Allah! This land is mine; I inherited it from my father. The man from Hadhramaut said: O Messenger of Allah! Take an oath from him that he does not know that this land is mine and my father’s, and that the usurper is his father. The man from Kindah was ready to take the oath, but when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said that whoever seizes someone’s property through a false oath, on the Day of Resurrection, when he meets Allah Almighty, his hand will be cut off. Upon hearing this statement, the man from Kindah said: This land belongs to him and his father.

Abu Salamah bin Abdur Rahman came to Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) while he was disputing with someone over a piece of land. Lady Aisha said: O Abu Salamah! Be cautious regarding matters of land, for the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever seizes a span of land unjustly, a collar from seven earths will be placed around his neck.

Talha bin Abdullah bin Awf narrates: He says, Arwa bint Uwais came to me with a delegation of the Quraysh, in which Abdur Rahman bin Sahal was also present. That woman said: Sayyiduna Saeed bin Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him) has included a part of my land into his own land, which in fact was not his. Now I want you to go to him and talk to him about this matter. Talha says: We mounted and went to him at the place of Aqeeq, where his land was. When he saw us, he said: I know the purpose of your coming. Let me narrate to you the hadith which I heard from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever seizes a piece of land that does not belong to him, Allah Almighty will put a collar of seven earths around his neck on the Day of Resurrection. And whoever is killed while protecting his wealth is a martyr.

Abu Salamah narrates that he says: Marwan told us to go and reconcile between Sayyiduna Sa'id bin Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him) and Arwa bint Uwais. When we reached Sayyiduna Sa'id bin Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him), he said to us: What do you think, have I usurped Arwa's share of the land? I myself heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say that whoever seizes or steals even a span of someone else's land without right, a collar from seven earths will be put around his neck, and whoever appoints a leader over a people without their permission, the curse of Allah will be upon him, and whoever seizes his brother's wealth through an oath, Allah will not bless it for him.

An Ansari companion narrates: We went out with the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, for a funeral. When we returned, a caller from among the Quraysh women met us and said: (O Messenger of Allah!) Such-and-such woman is inviting you and your companions for a meal. So the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, went and we also accompanied him, and (upon entering the house) we sat in such a manner as children sit before their fathers. Then the food was brought, and the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, placed his hand on the food, and the people did likewise. But the people realized that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, wanted to chew a morsel, but he was unable to do so. So they withdrew their hands and became inattentive to us. Then, when they remembered, they held our hands, then each man reached for his morsel and it fell to the ground. Then they withheld their hands and began to watch what the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, would do. So the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, threw away that morsel and said: It seems to me that this is the meat of a goat that was taken without the owner's permission. At this, the inviting woman said: O Messenger of Allah! My intention was to gather you and your companions for a meal, so I sent a man to Baqi', but there was no goat available for sale. Meanwhile, 'Amir bin Abi Waqqas had bought a goat from Baqi' yesterday, so I sent a message to him to buy a goat for me from Baqi', but none was found. Then I sent a message to him to send me the goat he had bought, but my messenger could not find him, but his family gave the goat to my messenger. Upon hearing this detail, the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Feed this food to the prisoners.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) and his companions passed by a woman, and she slaughtered a goat for them and prepared food. When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) returned, the woman said: We have prepared food for you, so please come inside and eat. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) and his companions went inside. The noble companions (may Allah be pleased with them) would not begin eating until the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) started eating. So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) took a morsel, but he could not swallow it. He said: This goat was slaughtered without the owner's permission. The woman said: O Prophet of Allah! We and the family of Banu Sa'd have informal relations with each other (and do not feel any aversion towards one another), so we keep taking from them and they from us.
