Sahih al-Bukhari 4379 (Book 65, Hadith 107)
The Prophet (ﷺ) said “O Zubair! Irrigate (your lands and the let the water flow to your neighbor The
Ansar said, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) (This is because) he (Zubair) is your cousin?” At that, the Prophet’s
face became red (with anger) and he said “O Zubair! Irrigate (your land) and then withhold the water
till it fills the land up to the walls and then let it flow to your neighbor.” So the Prophet (ﷺ) enabled Az-
Zubair to take his full right after the Ansari provoked his anger. The Prophet (ﷺ) had previously given a
order that was in favor of both of them Az-Zubair said, “I don’t think but the Verse was revealed in
this connection: “But no, by your Lord, they can have no faith, until they make you judge in all
disputes between them.” (4.65)
