Sunan Abu Dawood 3640

حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ عُثْمَانَ حَدَّثَهُمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي طُوَالَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَعَمْرُو بْنُ يَحْيَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِيهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ اخْتَصَمَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَجُلَانِ فِي حَرِيمِ نَخْلَةٍ فِي حَدِيثِ أَحَدِهِمَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَمَرَ بِهَا فَذُرِعَتْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَوُجِدَتْ سَبْعَةَ أَذْرُعٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَفِي حَدِيثِ الْآخَرِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَوُجِدَتْ خَمْسَةَ أَذْرُعٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَضَى بِذَلِكَ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ:‏‏‏‏ فَأَمَرَ بِجَرِيدَةٍ مِنْ جَرِيدِهَا فَذُرِعَتْ.

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.
