Sunan Abi Dawud 3640 (Book 25, Hadith 70) #23930
Dispute Resolution by Measurement

SUMMARY: The hadith is about two men who brought a dispute to the Messenger of Allah and he made a decision based on the measurement of the palm-tree.

Narrated AbuSa'id al-Khudri: Two men brought their dispute about the precincts of a palm-tree to the Messenger of Allah . 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. AbdulAziz said: He ordered to measure with a branch of its branches. It was then measured.
حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، أَنَّ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ عُثْمَانَ، حَدَّثَهُمْ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي طُوَالَةَ، وَعَمْرِو بْنِ يَحْيَى، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، قَالَ اخْتَصَمَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ رَجُلاَنِ فِي حَرِيمِ نَخْلَةٍ - فِي حَدِيثِ أَحَدِهِمَا فَأَمَرَ بِهَا فَذُرِعَتْ فَوُجِدَتْ سَبْعَةَ أَذْرُعٍ وَفِي حَدِيثِ الآخَرِ - فَوُجِدَتْ خَمْسَةَ أَذْرُعٍ فَقَضَى بِذَاكَ ‏.‏ قَالَ عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ فَأَمَرَ بِجَرِيدَةٍ مِنْ جَرِيدِهَا فَذُرِعَتْ

QUICK LESSONS:
Resolve disputes peacefully and fairly without resorting to violence or other means that could cause harm or further conflict between parties involved

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about how disputes should be resolved. Two men came to the Messenger of Allah with a dispute regarding the boundaries of a palm tree. He ordered them to measure it, and depending on which version you read, it was either seven or five yards in size. He then made his decision based on that measurement. This teaches us that when we have disputes with others, we should try our best to resolve them peacefully and fairly without resorting to violence or other means that could cause harm or further conflict between parties involved. We should also strive for justice and fairness in all matters so that everyone can benefit from an equitable resolution.
