📖 Abu Salama RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: That there was a dispute between him and some people (about a piece of land). When he told 'Aisha RadhiAllahu 'anha about it, she said, "O Abu Salama! Avoid taking the land unjustly, for the Prophet Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Whoever usurps (unjustly steals) even one span of the land of somebody, his neck will be encircled with it down the seven earths." 

Allah the Almighty knows best.
