[Machine] "He argued with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about the flood of Banu Qurayzah being miscalculated. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ruled between them that the water would not be trapped except at the bottom."  

الطبراني:١٣٨٦حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ سَلْمٍ الرَّازِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا سَهْلُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ ثنا عَبْدُ الرَّحِيمِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ أَبِي مَالِكِ بْنِ ثَعْلَبَةَ بْنِ أَبِي مَالِكٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ

اخْتَصَمَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي سَيْلِ بَنِي قُرَيْظَةَ مَهْزُورٌ «فَقَضَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بَيْنَهُمْ عَلَى أَنَّ الْمَاءَ إِلَى الْكَعْبَيْنِ لَا يُحْبَسُ إِلَّا عَلَى الْأَسْفَلِ»

Tha'labah heard his elders say that a man from the Quraysh had his share with Banu Qurayzah (in water). He brought the dispute to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about al-Mahzur, a stream whose water they shared together. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then decided that when water reached the ankles waters should not be held back to flow to the lower.  

أبو داود:٣٦٣٨حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلاَءِ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ عَنِ الْوَلِيدِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ كَثِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي مَالِكِ بْنِ ثَعْلَبَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ ثَعْلَبَةَ بْنِ أَبِي مَالِكٍ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ كُبَرَاءَهُمْ يَذْكُرُونَ

أَنَّ رَجُلاً مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ كَانَ لَهُ سَهْمٌ فِي بَنِي قُرَيْظَةَ فَخَاصَمَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي مَهْزُورٍ يَعْنِي السَّيْلَ الَّذِي يَقْتَسِمُونَ مَاءَهُ فَقَضَى بَيْنَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنَّ الْمَاءَ إِلَى الْكَعْبَيْنِ لاَ يَحْبِسُ الأَعْلَى عَلَى الأَسْفَلِ
