(Book 36, Hadith 28) #36499
Systematic Water Distribution in Madina

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) instructed the people of Madina to dam the flood-channels of Mahzur and Mudhaynib in a systematic way so that each property would receive water up to ankle level, starting from upstream.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Abdullah ibn Abi Bakr ibn Muhammad ibn Amr ibn Hazm that he heard that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said about the flood-channels of Mahzur and Mudhaynib (in Madina), "Dam them systematically, so that the water is diverted into each property in turn up to ankle level, starting upstream".
حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ حَزْمٍ، أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ فِي سَيْلِ مَهْزُورٍ وَمُذَيْنِبٍ ‏ "‏ يُمْسَكُ حَتَّى الْكَعْبَيْنِ ثُمَّ يُرْسِلُ الأَعْلَى عَلَى الأَسْفَلِ
