Ahmad ibn Ibrahim al-Dawraqi narrated to us, ‘Abd al-Samad — meaning Ibn ‘Abd al-Warith — narrated to us, Harb — and he is Ibn Shaddad — narrated to us, Yahya — and he is Ibn Abi Kathir — narrated to us, from Muhammad ibn Ibrahim, that Abu Salama narrated to him — and there was between him and his people a dispute over land — and that he entered upon ‘A’ishah and mentioned that to her. She said: O Abu Salama, avoid the land, for the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: “Whoever wrongfully takes a span of land, he will be made to wear it as a collar around his neck from seven earths.”
