Sahih al-Bukhari 2599 (Book 53, Hadith 18)
front of Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) about a water stream which both of them used for irrigation. Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)
said to Az-Zubair, “O Zubair! Irrigate (your garden) first, and then let the water flow to your
neighbor.” The Ansari became angry and said, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! Is it because he is your cousin?”
On that the complexion of Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) changed (because of anger) and said (to Az-Zubair), “I
irrigate (your garden) and then withhold the water till it reaches the walls (surrounding the palms).”
So, Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) gave Az-Zubair his full right. Before that Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) had given a generous
judgment beneficial for Az-Zubair and the Ansari, but when the Ansan irritated Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) he
gave Az-Zubair his full right according to the evident law. Az-Zubair said, “By Allah ! I think the
following Verse was revealed concerning that case: “But no by your Lord They can have No faith
Until they make you judge In all disputes between them.” (4.65)
