أَخْبَرَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ حَمَّادٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا اللَّيْثُ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ
إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنْ أَحْيَا أَرْضًا مَيِّتَةً فَهِيَ لَهُ وَلَيْسَ لِعِرْقٍ ظَالِمٍ حَقٌّ» قَالَ اللَّيْثُ ثُمَّ كَتَبْتُ إِلَى هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ فَكَتَبَ إِلَيَّ بِمِثْلِ حَدِيثِ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ
