حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلَائِ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ عَنْ الْوَلِيدِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ کَثِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي مَالِکِ بْنِ ثَعْلَبَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ ثَعْلَبَةَ بْنِ أَبِي مَالِکٍ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ کُبَرَائَهُمْ يَذْکُرُونَ أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ کَانَ لَهُ سَهْمٌ فِي بَنِي قُرَيْظَةَ فَخَاصَمَ إِلَی رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي مَهْزُورٍ يَعْنِي السَّيْلَ الَّذِي يَقْتَسِمُونَ مَائَهُ فَقَضَی بَيْنَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّ الْمَائَ إِلَی الْکَعْبَيْنِ لَا يَحْبِسُ الْأَعْلَی عَلَی الْأَسْفَلِ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 3638
Narrated Thalabah ibn Abu Malik: Thalabah heard his elders say that a man from the Quraysh had his share with Banu Qurayzah (in water). He brought the dispute to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about al-Mahzur, a stream whose water they shared together. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then decided that when water reached the ankles waters should not be held back to flow to the lower.
