Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the meaning of the Messenger’s (peace and blessings be upon him) hadith: “Whoever seizes a span of land by force, the seven earths will be wrapped around him”?
Answer:
Its meaning is clear. It means the prohibition of usurpation and the indication of the severity of its punishment. It will be wrapped around him on the Day of Resurrection as a punishment for him, and may Allah protect us from that, and as a disgrace for him. Yes.
