Planting

Planting الزرع والغرس

  • [ 2320 ]  عَنْ أنَسٍ رضي الله عنه  قال : قَالَ رَسُولُ الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ((  مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمٍ  يَغْرِسُ غَرْسًا أًوْ يَزْرَعُ زَرْعًا فَيَأكُلُ مِنْهُ طَيْرٌ أَوْ إِنْسَانٌ أَوْ بَهِيمَةٌ إِلَّا كَانَ لَهُ بِهِ صَدَقَةٌ ))

(صحيح البخاري )

Anas reported Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) as saying Never does a Muslim plant trees or cultivate land and birds or a man or a beast eat out of them but that is a charity on his behalf

(Sahih al-Bukhari)

  • [ 2322]  عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه  قال : قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم  (( مَنْ أَمْسَكَ كَلْبًا ؛ فَإنَّهُ يَنْقُصُ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ مِنْ عَمَلِهِ قِيرَاطٌ إِلَّا كَلْبَ حَرْثٍ أَوْ مَاشِيَة ))  وعنه رضي الله عنه في رواية (( إلَّا كَلْبَ غَنَمٍ أَوْ حَرْثٍ أَوْ صَيْد )) وعنه في رواية أخرى (( إلَّا كَلْبَ صَيْدٍ أَوْ مَاشِيَةٍ ))

(صحيح البخاري )

Narrated Abu Huraira

Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) said, “Whoever keeps a dog, one Qirat of the reward of his good deeds is deducted daily, unless the dog is used for guarding a farm or cattle.” Abu Huraira (in another narration) said from the Prophet, “unless it is used for guarding sheep or farms, or for hunting.” Narrated Abu Hazim from Abu Huraira: The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “A dog for guarding cattle or for hunting.”

(Sahih al-Bukhari)

  • (1552) عَنْ جَابِرٍ رضي الله عنه  قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ الله صلى الله عليه سولم (( مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمٍ  يَغْرِسُ غَرساً إِلَّا كَانَ مَا أُكِلَ مِنْهُ لَهُ صَدَقَةً ؛ وَمَا سُرِقَ مِنْهُ لَهُ صَدَقةً  ؛ وَمَا أَكَلَ السَّبُعُ مِنْهُ فَهُوَ لَهُ صَدَقةً  ؛ وَمَا أَكَلَتْ الطَّيْرُ فَهُوُ لَهُ صَدَقةً  ؛ وَلا يَرْزَؤُهُ أَحَدٌ إِلَّا كَانَ لَهُ صَدَقةٌ  ))

( صحيح مسلم )

Jabir (Allah be pleased with him) reported Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) as saying

Never does a Muslim plants a tree except that he has the reward of charity for him, for what is eaten out of that is charity; what is stolen out of that, what the beasts eat out of that, what the birds eat out of that is charity for him. (In short) none incurs a loss to him but it becomes a charity on his part

( Sahih Muslim )

  • عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ “‏ مَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ أَرْضٌ فَلْيَزْرَعْهَا أَوْ لِيَمْنَحْهَا أَخَاهُ فَإِنْ أَبَى فَلْيُمْسِكْ أَرْضَهُ ‏”‏

( صحيح مسلم )

Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) reported Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) as saying

He who has land should cultivate it or lend it to his brother, but if he refuses, he should retain his land

( Sahih Muslim )

  • (5230) عَنْ عَبْدِاللَّهِ بْنِ حَبْشِيٍّ  قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ الله صلى الله عليه وسلم :  (( مَنْ قَطَعَ سِدْرَةً  صَوَّبَ اللَّهُ رَأسَهُ فِي النَّارِ ))

( سنن أبي داود )

Narrated Abdullah ibn Habashi

The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: If anyone cuts the lote-tree, Allah brings him headlong into Hell

Abu Dawud was asked about the meaning of this tradition. He said: This is a brief tradition. It means that if anyone cuts uselessly, unjustly and without any right a lote-tree under the shade of which travellers and beasts take shelter, Allah will bring him into Hell headlong

(Sunan Abi Dawud)
