Zubayr quarreled with a man from the Ansar over a watercourse in the Harrah. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Water your land, Zubayr, then let the water flow on to your neighbor."The man from the Ansar said, "Messenger of Allah, is it because he is the son of your aunt?"The face of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ changed color, then he said, "Water your land, Zubayr, then hold back the water until it returns to the embankments, then release it to your neighbor."The Prophet ﷺ gave Zubayr his full right by an explicit ruling when the man from the Ansar had angered him, whereas earlier he had suggested to them both an arrangement that would have left them ample room.Zubayr said, "I do not think these verses were revealed except concerning that affair, 'But no, by your Lord, they will not believe until they make you judge concerning that over which they dispute among themselves' [Nisa 4:65]."
حدثنا علي بن عبد الله حدثنا محمد بن جعفر أخبرنا معمر عن الزهري
خاصم الزبير رجلا من الأنصار في شريج من الحرة فقال النبي ﷺ اسق يا زبير ثم أرسل الماء إلى جارك فقال الأنصاري يا رسول الله أن كان ابن عمتك فتلون وجه رسول الله ﷺ ثم قال اسق يا زبير ثم احبس الماء حتى يرجع إلى الجدر ثم أرسل الماء إلى جارك واستوعى النبي ﷺ للزبير حقه في صريح الحكم حين أحفظه الأنصاري كان أشار عليهما بأمر لهما فيه سعة قال الزبير فما أحسب هذه الآيات إلا نزلت في ذلك {فلا وربك لا يؤمنون حتى يحكموك فيما شجر بينهم}
