It is also narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Do not withhold surplus water so as to prevent (the growth of) grass.

Narrated by Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Neither should the excess water of a well be withheld, nor should the water that flows from a well and gathers in a low-lying place be withheld.

Narrated from Sayyiduna ‘Ubada bin Samit (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: Among the judgments of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) are these, (in this hadith he mentioned several judgments, among them were these two): The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) decided among the people of Madinah that no one should be prevented from the surplus or collected water of wells, and among the villagers he decided that surplus water should not be withheld with the intention of preventing others from the surplus grass. And when irrigating date palms with water flowing in the canals, the upper land should be irrigated before the lower land in such a way that the water reaches up to the ankles, then it should be released to the adjacent lower land, and in the same manner the water should be passed forward, until the gardens end or the water runs out.

Narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Zubair (may Allah be pleased with them both) that there was a dispute between Sayyiduna Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him) and an Ansari regarding a stream in Harrah, from which they used to irrigate their date palms. The Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) said to Sayyiduna Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him): Leave the water for my date palms, but he refused to do so. The Ansari took the case to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: O Zubair! First irrigate (your land) and then leave the water for your neighbor. But this decision angered the Ansari, and he said: You have given this decision because he is your aunt’s son. Upon hearing this, the face of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) changed, and then he said: O Zubair! Now withhold the water until it reaches the embankment, then let it flow ahead. Sayyiduna Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him) says: By Allah! I think this verse was revealed about this matter: {فَلَاوَرَبِّکَ لَایُؤْمِنُوْنَ حَتّٰییُحَکِّمُوْکَ فِیْمَا شَجَرَ بَیْنَہُمْ ثُمَّ لَا یَجِدُوْا فِیْ اَنْفُسِھِمْ حَرَجًا مِّمَّا قَضَیْتَ وَیُسَلِّمُوْا تَسْلِیْمًا} … But no, by your Lord, they will not (truly) believe until they make you (O Muhammad) judge in all disputes between them, and then find in themselves no resistance against your decisions, and accept them with full submission. (Surah An-Nisa: 65)

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) allotted to Sayyiduna Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him) a piece of land called Thareer, as much as his horse could run. So he made his horse run, and when it stopped, he threw his whip. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Give him as much land as his whip has reached.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Urwah bin Zubair (may Allah have mercy on him) that Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) granted me and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) such-and-such land as a fief. Then Sayyiduna Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him) went to the family of Umar and bought their share, and came to Sayyiduna Uthman bin Affan (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) believes that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) granted him and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) such-and-such land as a fief, and I have bought the share of the family of Umar. Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) is a truthful witness, whether it is in his favor or against him.

Narrated by Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) called the Ansar to allot them the land of Bahrain, but they said: No, (we will not take this land) unless you give our Muhajir brothers a similar estate. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: Surely, after me, you will see others being preferred over you, so be patient until you meet me.

It is narrated from Sayyida Zainab (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) made women the heirs of their homes.

(Kulthum narrates:) Sayyida Zainab (may Allah be pleased with her) was removing lice from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and with him were the wife of Sayyiduna Uthman bin Maz'un (may Allah be pleased with him) and some emigrant women sitting. They were complaining about their homes, that (after the death of their husbands) they are expelled from their homes and hardship is imposed upon them. Sayyida Zainab (may Allah be pleased with her) also left the blessed head of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and began to talk, but the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to her: "You should not talk with your eyes; speak as well as do your work." (After hearing all these things) at that time the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered that women should be made heirs of (their emigrant husbands). Thus, when Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) passed away, his wife became the heir of his house in Madinah.

Narrated by Sayyiduna Wa’il bin Hujr (may Allah be pleased with him): The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) allotted him a piece of land and sent Sayyiduna Mu’awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) with him so that he could give me this land or point it out to me. Sayyiduna Wa’il (may Allah be pleased with him) says: Sayyiduna Mu’awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Let me ride behind you, but I said: O Mu’awiyah! You are not among those who ride behind kings (or become their deputies). He said: Then give me your shoe (so that I may protect myself from the harshness of the ground), I said: Walk in the shade of the she-camel. Then, when Sayyiduna Mu’awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) was chosen as caliph and I went to him, he seated me with him on the throne and reminded me of this incident. I said: Now I wish that I had seated you in front of me.
