Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ أَخْبَرَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْ أَحْيَا أَرْضًا مَيْتَةً لَهُ بِهَا أَجْرٌ وَمَا أَكَلَتْ مِنْهُ الْعَافِيَةُ فَلَهُ بِهِ أَجْرٌ.
English Translation
Yahya ibn Sa'id told us, from Hisham ibn Urwah, Ubaydullah ibn Abd al-Rahman al-Ansari informed me, who said: I heard Jabir ibn Abdullah say: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Whoever revives dead land has a reward for it, and whatever the wild creatures eat from it, he has a reward for it."
