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] .

A man disputed with az-Zubayr رضی اللہ عنہ about streamlets in the lava plain which was irrigated by them. The Ansari said: Release the water and let it run, but az-Zubayr رضی اللہ عنہ refused. The Holy Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said to az-Zubayr رضی اللہ عنہ : Water (your ground), Zubayr رضی اللہ عنہ , 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 صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم changed colour and he said: Water (your ground), then keep back the water till it returns to the embankment. Az-Zubayr رضی اللہ عنہ 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. . . . .
