3. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad and Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father all from my from Hakam ibn Ayman from Ghiyath ibn Ibrahim who has said the following
“I once heard abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), saying, ‘The Messenger of Allah once issued a judgment about the flood of the valley of Mahzur (name of a place). The amount of water that those of higher areas can hold is up to the anklebones for palm trees and up to one’s shoelaces for plantation. Thereafter water must be allowed for those below that; for plantation up to the shoelace and for the palm trees up to the anklebone, then allow water for those yet lower.’ Ibn abu ‘Umayr has made a statement that Mahrzur is the name of an area in the valley.”
3- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ جَمِيعاً عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنِ الْحَكَمِ بْنِ أَيْمَنَ عَنْ غِيَاثِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ
سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ قَضَى رَسُولُ اللهِ (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) فِي سَيْلِ وَادِي مَهْزُورٍ أَنْ يُحْبَسَ الأعْلَى عَلَى الأسْفَلِ لِلنَّخْلِ إِلَى الْكَعْبَيْنِ وَلِلزَّرْعِ إِلَى الشِّرَاكَيْنِ ثُمَّ يُرْسَلَ الْمَاءُ إِلَى أَسْفَلَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ لِلزَّرْعِ إِلَى الشِّرَاكِ وَلِلنَّخْلِ إِلَى الْكَعْبِ ثُمَّ يُرْسَلَ الْمَاءُ إِلَى أَسْفَلَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ. قَالَ ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ وَمَهْزُورٌ مَوْضِعُ وَادٍ.
