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

Two men brought their dispute about the precincts of a palm-tree to the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم. 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.
