It is narrated from Jariyah bin Zafar that two brothers owned a house, and they put up a partition fence in the middle of it. Then both of them died and left behind children. The children of each claimed the fence. Their case came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he sent Sayyiduna Hudhayfah bin al-Yaman (may Allah be pleased with him) to judge between them. The fence was then judged in favour of the one on whose side the binding cords were. Then Sayyiduna Hudhayfah bin al-Yaman (may Allah be pleased with him) came back and informed the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he said: "You have judged correctly."
