Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Hazrat Jabir bin Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that Hazrat Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) sent me to divide a piece of land between Hazrat Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him) and Hazrat Khabbab (may Allah be pleased with him), so they started throwing pebbles at each other. When I returned and informed Hazrat Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) about this, he began to laugh so much that he struck his foot on the ground and said that the land would be about the size of this mosque or a little bigger than it. Then he said, “Why didn’t you stop them?”
