Hadith 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 اللَّهُ 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 .
Narrated Abu Saeed al-Khudri: Two men brought their dispute about the precincts of a palm-tree to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. According to a version of this tradition, he ordered to measure and it was measured. It was found seven yards. According to another version, it was found five yards. He made a decision according to that. Abdul Aziz said: He ordered to measure with a branch of its branches. It was then measured.
