"عَنْ عمرو بن شعيب: أن رسول الله ﷺ قطع لرجل قطيعًا فأَعقله، فأخذه رجلٌ فعمِله وعمَّره، فلما كان عمرُ بن الخطاب طلب الرجل قَطِيعَةً، فقال عمر: ألم تعلم كان يعمله ويعمره أكان عبدا لك؟ قال الآخر: قطعه إلىَّ رسول الله ﷺ فقال عمر: وَاللهِ لَوْلَا أَنَّهُ قَطْعٌ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مَا أَعْطَيْتُكَ شَيْئًا يَا عَبْدَ الرَّحمَنِ بْنَ عَوْفٍ! أَقِمِ الأَرْضَ بَرَاحًا وَأَقمْ عِمَارَتَهَا، ثُمَّ خَيَّرْ صَاحِبَ الْقَطِيعِ إنْ أحَبَّ أَنْ يَأخُذَهَا وَيُؤَدِّىَ إِلَى صَاحِبِ الْعِمارَةِ وَيَأخُذَ قِيمةَ أَرْضِهِ بَرَاحًا فَلْيَفْعَلْ، وَلَوْلَا أَنَّهُ قَطِيعٌ مِنْ رَسُولِ الله ﷺ مَا أَعْطَيْتُكَ شَيْئًا".

“Narrated from 'Amr ibn Shu'ayb: that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ granted a man a land grant (qati'ah), and he cultivated it and built on it. When 'Umar ibn al-Khattab came, the man sought his grant. 'Umar said: ‘Do you not know that he cultivated it and built on it? Was he your slave?’ The other said: ‘The Messenger of Allah ﷺ granted it to me.’ 'Umar said: ‘By Allah, if it were not a grant from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, I would not give you anything, O 'Abd al-Rahman ibn 'Awf! Leave the land bare and leave its cultivation. Then let the holder of the grant choose, if he wishes, to take it and pay the owner of the cultivation, and take the value of his land bare, let him do so. And if it were not a grant from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, I would not have given you anything.’”
