رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ   over who will irrigate their field first. This dispute was presented in the court of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم.

So, the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said, ‘O Zubayr! After irrigating your field, release the water in the direction of your neighbour.’

Sayyiduna Zubayr رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ was given permission to irrigate his field first because his field came first. Despite this, the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم also instructed him to favour his neighbour also. However, the Ansari found the decision to be disagreeable and he said, ‘Zubayr is the son of your (paternal) aunty.’

Sayyiduna Zubayr رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ had been instructed to favour the Ansari in the decision, however, the Ansari did not value this, so the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم commanded Sayyiduna Zubayr رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ to stop the water after irrigating his field. The following verse was revealed on this occasion. (Bukhari, vol. 2, p. 215, Hadees 2708; Tafseer Siraat-ul-Jinaan, vol. 2, p. 239)

Allah Almighty states:

فَلَا وَ رَبِّكَ لَا یُؤْمِنُوْنَ حَتّٰى یُحَكِّمُوْكَ فِیْمَا شَجَرَ بَیْنَهُمْ ثُمَّ لَا یَجِدُوْا فِیْۤ اَنْفُسِهِمْ حَرَجًا مِّمَّا قَضَیْتَ وَ یُسَلِّمُوْا تَسْلِیْمًا(۶۵)

So, O Beloved, by oath of your Lord, they will not be Muslims until they take you as a judge for the disputes between them, and whatever you have then decided, they should not have resistance to it within their hearts, and they must accept it wholeheartedly.
