English translation

3640. It was narrated that Abū Sa'eed Al-Khudrī said: "Two men referred a dispute to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ concerning the area around a palm tree (that is regarded as belonging to it). According to one of them, he ﷺ ordered that its height be measured, and it was found to be seven fore-arms lengths. According to the other it was found to be five fore-arms lengths. So he ﷺ passed judgment on that basis.[1] 'Abdul-'Aziz (one of the narrators) said: "He ordered that it be measured with one of its branches." (Hasan) In the Name of Allāh, the MostGracious, the Most Merciful

3640 - حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، أَنَّ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ عُثْمَانَ، حَدَّثَهُمْ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي طُوَالَةَ، وَعَمْرُو بْنُ يَحْيَى، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، قَالَ: اخْتَصَمَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَجُلَانِ فِي حَرِيمِ نَخْلَةٍ فِي حَدِيثِ أَحَدِهِمَا، «فَأَمَرَ بِهَا فَذُرِعَتْ، فَوُجِدَتْ سَبْعَةَ أَذْرُعٍ، وَفِي حَدِيثِ الْآخَرِ، فَوُجِدَتْ خَمْسَةَ أَذْرُعٍ فَقَضَى بِذَلِكَ» قَالَ عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ: «فَأَمَرَ بِجَرِيدَةٍ مِنْ جَرِيدِهَا فَذُرِعَتْ»
