(13). 3027. 'Urwah bin Az-Zubair narrated that 'Abdullāh bin Az-Zubair narrated to him: "A man from the Anṣār was arguing with Az-Zubair about a stream at Al-Ḥarrah with which they irrigated their date-palms. So the Anṣārī man said: 'Let the water pass through.' But he refused, so they brought their dispute to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ. So the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said to Az-Zubair: 'O Zubair! Water and let the water flow to your neighbor.' The Anṣārī got angry and said: 'O Messenger of Allāh! Is it because he is your nephew?' The face of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ changed. Then he said: 'O Zubair! Water and withhold the water until it flows over your walls.' So Az-Zubair said: 'By Allāh, I think this Āyah was revealed about that incident: But no, by your Lord! They can have no faith until they make you judge in all disputes between them...' [1] [Abū 'Eisā said:] I heard Muḥammad saying: "Ibn Wahb reported this Hadīth from Al-Laith bin Sa'd and Yūnus, from Az-Zuhri, from 'Urwah from 'Abdullāh bin Az-Zubair and it is similar to this. Shu'āib bin Abī Ḥamzah reported it from Az-Zuhri, from 'Urwah bin Az-Zubair, and he did not mention 'Abdullāh bin Az-Zubair in it.
