Chapter 25 · The Office of the Judge (Kitab Al-Aqdiyah)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. . . . .
