Riyad as-Salihin — Hadith #40620

On the authority of Urwa bin Al-Zubair, Saeed bin Zaid bin Amr bin Nufayl, may God be pleased with him, brought his quarrel to Arwa bint Aws to Marwan bin Al-Hakam, and she claimed that he had taken something from her land. Saeed said: I was taking something from her land after what I heard from the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace!? He said: What did you hear from the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace? He said: I heard the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace. He says: “Whoever takes an inch from the earth unjustly, encircling him to seventy lands.” Then Marwan said to him: “I will not ask you for proof after this.” Sa’id said: “O God, if she is a liar, then blind her and kill her in her land.” He said: “She did not die until her sight went away, and while she was walking in her land, she fell into a pit and died.” (Agreed upon)). And in a narration by Muslim on the authority of Muhammad b. Zaid bin Abdullah bin Omar, in its meaning, and that he saw her blind, touching the walls, says: I was struck by Saeed’s call, and that she passed by a well in the house where she argued with him, so she fell into it and it became her grave.
