أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ أَنَّهُ حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ حَدَّثَهُ
أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ خَاصَمَ الزُّبَيْرَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي شِرَاجِ الْحَرَّةِ الَّتِي يَسْقُونَ بِهَا النَّخْلَ فَقَالَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ سَرِّحِ الْمَاءَ يَمُرُّ فَأَبَى عَلَيْهِ فَاخْتَصَمُوا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لِلزُّبَيْرِ «اسْقِ يَا زُبَيْرُ ثُمَّ أَرْسِلْ إِلَى جَارِكَ» فَغَضِبَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَنْ كَانَ ابْنَ عَمَّتِكَ فَتَلَوَّنَ وَجْهُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ قَالَ «يَا زُبَيْرُ اسْقِ ثُمَّ احْبِسِ الْمَاءَ حَتَّى يَرْجِعَ إِلَى الْجَدْرِ» فَقَالَ الزُّبَيْرُ وَاللهِ إِنِّي لَأَحْسِبُ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ أُنْزِلَتْ فِي ذَلِكَ {فَلَا وَرَبِّكَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ} [النساء 65]

✧ A man from the Anṣār disputed with al-Zubayr before the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about the streams of the ḥarrah from which they irrigated the date palms. The Anṣārī said: “Let the water flow.” Al-Zubayr refused, so they brought their dispute to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to al-Zubayr: “Irrigate, O Zubayr, then release the water to your neighbor.” The Anṣārī became angry and said: “O Messenger of Allah, is it because he is your aunt’s son?” The face of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ changed color, then he said: “O Zubayr, irrigate, then hold back the water until it returns to the wall.” Al-Zubayr said: “By Allah, I think this verse was revealed about that: ‘But no, by your Lord, they will not believe…’ [Q 4:65].”
