حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْمُنْذِرِ الْحِزَامِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا زَکَرِيَّا بْنُ مَنْظُورِ بْنِ ثَعْلَبَةَ بْنِ أَبِي مَالِکٍ حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ أَبِي مَالِکٍ عَنْ عَمِّهِ ثَعْلَبَةَ بْنِ أَبِي مَالِکٍ قَالَ قَضَی رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي سَيْلِ مَهْزُورٍ الْأَعْلَی فَوْقَ الْأَسْفَلِ يَسْقِي الْأَعْلَی إِلَی الْکَعْبَيْنِ ثُمَّ يُرْسِلُ إِلَی مَنْ هُوَ أَسْفَلُ مِنْهُ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 2481
