It is narrated from Abdullah bin Abi Bakr that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Of the two canals, one was named Mahzoor and the other was named Muzainib. The one whose garden is adjacent to the canal should fill his garden ankle-deep with water and then let the water flow into the other person's garden."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Huraira, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Water that is left over should not be withheld so that grass may remain."

It is narrated from Hazrat Amrah bint Abdur Rahman that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Do not prevent (others) from the surplus water of a well."
