4585. Narrated 'Urwa: Az-Zubair quarrelled with a man from the Anṣār concerning of a natural mountainous stream at Al-Ḥarra. The Prophet ﷺ said, "O Zubair! Irrigate (your land) and then let the water flow to your neighbour." The Anṣārī said, "O Allāh's Messenger! (Is this because) he (Zubair) is your cousin?" At that, the Prophet's face became red (with anger) and he said, "O Zubair! Irrigate (your land) and then withhold the water till it fills the land up to the walls, and then let it flow to your neighbour." So, the Prophet ﷺ enabled Az-Zubair to take his full right after the Anṣārī provoked his anger. The Prophet ﷺ had previously given an order that was in favour of both of them. Az-Zubair said, "I don't think but this Verse was revealed in this connection:
'But no, by your Lord, they can have no Faith, until they make you (Muhammad ﷺ) judge in all disputes between them.'" (V.4:65)
