عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ حَدَّثَهُ ، عَنِ
الزُّبَيْرِ بْنِ الْعَوَّامِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، أَنَّهُ خَاصَمَ رَجُلا مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ قَدْ شَهِدَ بَدْرًا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي شِرَاجٍ مِنَ الْحَرَّةِ كَانَا يَسْقِيَانِ بِهِ كِلاهُمَا النَّخْلَ ، فَقَالَ الأَنْصَارِيُّ : سَرِّحِ الْمَاءَ يَمُرُّ فَأَبَى عَلَيْهِ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " اسْقِ يَا زُبَيْرُ ، ثُمَّ أَرْسِلِ الْمَاءَ إِلَى جَارِكَ " ، فَغَضِبَ الأَنْصَارِيُّ ، قَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، أَنْ كَانَ ابْنَ عَمَّتِكَ ، فَتَلَوَّنَ وَجْهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : " اسْقِ يَا زُبَيْرُ ، ثُمَّ احْبِسِ الْمَاءَ حَتَّى يَرْجِعَ إِلَى الْجِذْرِ " ، وَاسْتَوْعَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِلزُّبَيْرِ حَقَّهُ ، وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ أَشَارَ عَلَى الزُّبَيْرِ بِرَأْيٍ أَرَادَ فِيهِ السَّعَةَ لِلزُّبَيْرِ وَلِلأَنْصَارِيِّ ، فَقَالَ الزُّبَيْرُ : مَا أَحْسَبُ هَذِهِ الآيَةَ إِلا نزلت فِي ذَلِكَ : فَلا وَرَبِّكَ لا يُؤْمِنُونَ حَتَّى يُحَكِّمُوكَ فِيمَا شَجَرَ بَيْنَهُمْ سورة النساء آية 65 الآيَةَ ، وَأَحَدُهُمَا يَزِيدُ عَلَى صَاحِبِهِ فِي الْقِصَّةِ .
Sayyiduna Zubair bin Al-Awwam (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that he and an Ansari man, who had participated in the Battle of Badr with the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding a dispute about the water channels of Harrah (a place near Madinah), from which both of them used to irrigate their date palms. The Ansari said: Let the water flow, do not stop it, while (Zubair) was refusing him. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Zubair! After irrigating your land, let the water flow to your neighbor. The Ansari became angry and said: O Messenger of Allah! He is your aunt’s son, that is why you have decided in this way. The face of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) changed color (with anger), then he said: Zubair! After irrigating your land, hold the water until it reaches the embankments. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) gave Zubair his full right, whereas previously he had given Zubair advice from himself in which there was room for both Zubair and the Ansari. Zubair says: I think this verse was revealed about this matter: ﴿فَلَا وَرَبِّكَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ حَتَّى يُحَكِّمُوكَ فِيمَا شَجَرَ بَيْنَهُمْ﴾ (An-Nisa: 65) (By your Lord! They cannot be believers until they make you judge in all disputes between them.) One narrator has narrated the incident in more detail than the other.
