Reviving Barren Land

6. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from af-Nawfaliy from af-Sakuniy who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, has said that the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, has said, ‘Whoever plants a tree or digs a valley as the first one before anyone else and revives a land which is barren (dead), it becomes his land from Allah and the Messenger of Allah, ‘O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause.’”
