Narrated Abu Saeed al-Khudri: Two men brought their dispute about the precincts of a palm-tree to the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم . According to a version of this tradition, he ordered to measure and it was measured. It was found seven yards. According to another version, it was found five yards. He made a decision according to that. Abdul Aziz said: He ordered to measure with a branch of its branches. It was then measured.

Narrated Abu Hurairah: The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: If you dispute over a pathway, leave the margin of seven yards.
