[Machine] A vineyard had produced its grapes, but the sheep ruined it. Dawood (David) decided to grant the vineyard to the owner of the sheep. Sulaiman (Solomon) said, "This is not fair, O Prophet of Allah." Dawood asked, "Why?" Sulaiman replied, "You should transfer the vineyard to its owner, and the sheep to its owner, until the vineyard returns to its previous state." Allah, the Almighty, says, "So We made Sulaiman understand it, and to each [of them] We gave judgement and knowledge." (Quran 21:79). Adh-Dhahabi remained silent regarding the summary.  

الحاكم:٤١٣٨ – حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عِيسَى ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ زَكَرِيَا بْنِ دَاوُدَ ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى ثنا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْمُحَارِبِيُّ عَنْ أَشْعَثَ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ مُرَّةَ عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ

[Machine] In His statement, "And (mention) David and Solomon, when they judged concerning the field – when the sheep of a people overran it [at night], and We were witnesses to their judgement. And We gave understanding of the case to Solomon, and to each (of them) We gave judgement and knowledge." (Quran 21: 79), it is narrated from Masrooq and Mujahid the meaning of this (verse). And Allah (swt) returned the judgement in this incident and similar incidents to what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ruled in the case of the camel of Bara' ibn Azib when it entered the farmland of some of the Ansar and caused damage. He ruled that during the day, the owners are responsible for safeguarding their wealth, and during the night, the owners of the livestock are responsible for any damage caused by the livestock. Ash-Shafi'i said, al-Hasan ibn Abi al-Hasan said, "If it were not for this verse, I would have thought that the judges have perished. However, Allah praised this (judgement) for its correctness and commended it for its effort."
