3637. ‘Abdullāh bin Az-Zubair narrated that a man disputed with Az-Zubair about the streams of the Ḥarrāh which they used for irrigation. The Anṣārī said: “Let the water flow,” but Az-Zubair refused. The Prophet ﷺ said to Az-Zubair: “Water (your trees), O Az-Zubair, then let the water flow to your neighbor.” The Anṣārī got angry and said: “O Messenger of Allāh, it is because he is your cousin!” The face of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ changed color, then he said: “Water (your trees) then block the water until it backs up to the bottom of the wall.” Az-Zubair said: “By Allāh, I think this verse was revealed concerning that: But no, by your Lord, they can have no Faith, until they make you judge...”[1] (Sahīh)

3637 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ الطَّيَالِسِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثِ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ، حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّ رَجُلًا خَاصَمَ الزُّبَيْرَ فِي شِرَاجِ الْحَرَّةِ الَّتِي يَسْقُونَ بِهَا فَقَالَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ: سَرِّحِ الْمَاءَ يَمُرُّ فَأَبَى عَلَيْهِ الزُّبَيْرُ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِلزُّبَيْرِ: «اسْقِ يَا زُبَيْرُ، ثُمَّ أَرْسِلْ إِلَى جَارِكَ»، قَالَ: فَغَضِبَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أَنْ كَانَ ابْنَ عَمَّتِكَ، فَتَلَوَّنَ وَجْهُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «اسْقِ ثُمَّ احْبِسِ الْمَاءَ، حَتَّى يَرْجِعَ إِلَى الْجَدْرِ» فَقَالَ الزُّبَيْرُ: «فَوَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لَأَحْسَبُ هَذِهِ، الْآيَةَ نَزَلَتْ فِي ذَلِكَ» {فَلَا وَرَبِّكَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ حَتَّى يُحَكِّمُوكَ} [النساء: 65] الْآيَةَ
