Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Al Kafi (volume 4)(part 3) Chapter 105 : the Whole Earth Belongs To the Imam (a.s.) H , Ch. 105, H 1 Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn 'Isa from ibn Mahbub from Hisham ibn Salim from abu Khalid al-Kabuli from abu Ja'far (a.s.) who has said the following. "We found in the book of Amir al-Mu'minin (a.s.) this. "The earth belongs to Allah and He gives it in inheritance to whoever of His servants that He wishes.

The good end is for those who are pious before Allah', I and my are the people to whom Allah has given the earth in inheritance and we are the ones who are pious before Allah. The whole earth belongs to us. Thus, whoever of the Muslims would revive a land, he must establish it, pay taxes to the Imam from my . Whatever he has used would be his.

If he would abandon or allow to become barren and another Muslim would revive and re establish it he will have more right to it than the one who have abandoned. This person will now pay the taxes to the Imam from my and whatever he would use thereafter is his until Al- Qa'im from my will rise with Divine Authority and with the sword.

He will control and protect them and will remove from them just as the Messenger of Allah had controlled and protected it, except, however, for what would be in the hands of our followers. He will form a contract with them and will leave the land to them." H , Ch. 105, h 2 Muhammad ibn 'Abdallah from his narrator (one of the Imams (a.s.)) reported to me the following. "The world and all that is therein belong to Allah, the Most Holy, the Most High, His Messenger and to us.

If one would control a part of it he must maintain piety before Allah. He must pay the share of Allah, the Most Holy, the Most High, be generous to his brethren, otherwise, Allah, the Messenger of Allah and we will bear no responsibility torwards him." H , Ch. 105, h 3 Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Mahbub from 'Umar ibn Yazid who has said the following. "I saw Masma' in Madina.

In that year he had tried to deliver a certain amount of property to abu 'Abdallah (a.s.) that he returned to him. I asked him about the reason for the return.. The narrator has said that he said to me, "When I took the property to him I said, ' I had become the in charge of the pearls in Bahrayn and I have made four hundred thousand Dirham profit. I have brought eighty thousand Dinar as your share.
