رَجُلٍ أَتَى جَبَلًا فَشَقَّ فِيهِ قَنَاةً فَذَهَبَتْ قَنَاةُ الْأُخْرَى بِمَاءِ قَنَاةِ الْأُولَى قَالَ فَقَالَ يَتَقَاسَمَانِ بِحَقَائِبِ الْبِئْرِ لَيْلَةً لَيْلَةً فَيُنْظَرُ أَيُّهُمَا أَضَرَّتْ بِصَاحِبَتِهَا فَإِنْ رُئِيَتِ الْأَخِيرَةُ أَضَرَّتْ بِالْأُولَى فَلْتُعَوَّرْ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Muhammad Bin Al Husayn, from Muhammad Bin Abdullah Bin Hilal, from Uqba Bin Khalid, from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> regarding a man who came to a mountain, so he cleaved a canal therein. So another canal dried up by the water of the first canal. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘They should divided the barriers of the well, night by night (alternatively), so they would look at which of the two is harming its companion. So if the irrigation of other one is being harmed by the first one, so let it be closed down’.
