Narrated `Urwa bin Az-Zubair:Az-Zubair told me that he quarreled with an Ansari man who had participated in (the battle of) Badr in front of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) about a water stream which both of them used for irrigation. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to Az-Zubair, "O Zubair! Irrigate (your garden) first, and then let the water flow to your neighbor." The Ansari became angry and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Is it because he is your cousin?" On that the complexion of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) changed (because of anger) and said (to Az-Zubair), "I irrigate (your garden) and then withhold the water till it reaches the walls (surrounding the palms)." So, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) gave Az-Zubair his full right. Before that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had given a generous judgment beneficial for Az-Zubair and the Ansari, but when the Ansan irritated Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) he gave Az-Zubair his full right according to the evident law. Az-Zubair said, "By Allah ! I think the following Verse was revealed concerning that case: "But no by your Lord They can have No faith Until they make you judge In all disputes between them." (4.65)

Sahih
It is related from 'Urwa ibn az-Zubayr that az-Zubayr quarrelled with a man of the Ansar who had been present at Badr about the irrigation canals of the lava-beds, and they took the case to the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. Each of them used it for irrigation. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said to az-Zubayr, "Zubayr, water, and then let the water pass to your neighbour." The Ansari became angry and said, "Messenger of Allah, is it because he is your aunt's son?" The face of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, changed colour and then he said, "Water and then hold the water until it reaches the wall." So at that time the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, gave az-Zubayr his full right. Before that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, had suggested to az-Zubayr an opinion which was generous for him and for the Ansari. When the Ansari angered the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, he gave az-Zubayr his full right according to the evident judgement. 'Urwa said that az-Zubayr said, "By Allah, indeed I think that this ayat was revealed about that, "No, by your Lord, they are not believers until they make you their judge in the disputes that break out between them."' (4:65)"
