"لَمَّا ظَهَرَ الإِسْلَامُ وَلَنَا بِئْرٌ بِالْمَدِينَةِ خِفْنَا أَنْ يَغْلِبَنَا عَلَيْهَا مَنْ حَوْلَنَا، فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِىَّ ﷺ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَكَتَبَ لَنَا كِتَابًا: {بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ} مِنْ مُحَمَّدٍ رَسُولِ الله، أَمَّا بَعْدُ: فَإِنَّ لَهُمْ بِئْرَهُمْ إِنْ كَانَ صَادِقًا، وَلَهُمْ دَارهُمْ إِنْ كَانَ صَادِقًا، فَمَا قَاضَيْنَا فِيهِ إِلَى أَحَدٍ مِنْ قُضَاةِ الْمَدِينَةِ إِلَّا قَضَوْا لَنَا بِهِ، وَفِى كِتَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ كَانَ ك ون () وَزَعَمَ أَنَّهُ كَذَا كَانَ كِتَابُ النَّبِىِّ ﷺ ".

"When Islam appeared, we had a well in Madinah, and we feared that those around us would overpower us over it. So I came to the Prophet ﷺ and mentioned that to him, and he wrote a letter for us: {بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ} From Muḥammad, the Messenger of Allah. To proceed: They have their well, if he is truthful, and they have their house, if he is truthful. Whatever we took to any of the judges of Madinah for judgment, they ruled for us in it. And in the letter of the Prophet ﷺ it was [unclear], and he claimed that this is how the letter of the Prophet ﷺ was."
