English narration
Narrated by عبد الله بن الزبير الأسدي
Narrated Abdullah ibn az-Zubayr: A man disputed with az-Zubayr about streamlets in the lava plain which was irrigated by them. The Ansari said: Release the water and let it run, but az-Zubayr refused. The Holy Prophet ﷺ said to az-Zubayr: Water (your ground), Zubayr, then let the water run to your neighbour. The Ansari then became angry and said: Messenger of Allah! it is because he is your cousin! Thereupon the face of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ changed colour and he said: Water (your ground), then keep back the water till it returns to the embankment. Az-Zubayr said: By Allah! I think this verse came down about that: "But no, by thy Lord! they can have no (real) faith, until they make thee judge. . . . . "

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 : سَرِّحْ الْمَاءَ يَمُرُّ ، فَأَبَى عَلَيْهِ الزُّبَيْرُ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِلزُّبَيْرِ : اسْقِ يَا زُبَيْرُ ، ثُمَّ أَرْسِلْ إِلَى جَارِكَ ، فَغَضِبَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ ، فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، أَنْ كَانَ ابْنَ عَمَّتِكَ ؟ ، فَتَلَوَّنَ وَجْهُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : اسْقِ ، ثُمَّ احْبِسِ الْمَاءَ حَتَّى يَرْجِعَ إِلَى الْجَدْرِ ، فَقَالَ الزُّبَيْرُ : فَوَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لَأَحْسَبُ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ نَزَلَتْ فِي ذَلِكَ : فَلا وَرَبِّكَ لا يُؤْمِنُونَ حَتَّى يُحَكِّمُوكَ سورة النساء آية 65
