Some of the Companions of Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) had surplus of land. Thereupon Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: He, who has surplus land (in his possession) should cultivate it, or he should lend it to his brother for benefit, but if he refuses to accept it, he should retain it.
