حَدِيثُ صَخْرِ بْنِ عَيْلَةَ (١)، ١٨٧٧٨ - حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبَانُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْبَجَلِيُّ، حَدَّثَنِي عُمُومَتِي، عَنْ جَدِّهِمْ صَخْرِ بْنِ عَيْلَةَ، أَنَّ قَوْمًا مِنْ بَنِي سُلَيْمٍ فَرُّوا عَنْ أَرْضِهِمْ، حِينَ جَاءَ الْإِسْلَامُ، فَأَخَذْتُهَا، فَأَسْلَمُوا، فَخَاصَمُونِي فِيهَا إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَرَدَّهَا عَلَيْهِمْ، وَقَالَ: " إِذَا أَسْلَمَ الرَّجُلُ، فَهُوَ أَحَقُّ بِأَرْضِهِ وَمَالِهِ " (٢)، ، . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .، ، . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .، ،

It is narrated from Sakhr bin Ailah (may Allah be pleased with him) that when Islam came, some people from Banu Sulaym fled, leaving their properties behind. I took possession of them. Those people became Muslim and filed a case against me regarding those properties before the Noble Prophet (ﷺ). The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) returned those properties to them and said: "When a person becomes Muslim, he is the most entitled to his land and wealth."
