Hadith.3410 - Ghiyath bin Ibrahim narrated from Abu Abdullah (as), from his forefathers, from Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as): The Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace be upon him and his family) ruled regarding the floodwaters of the Valley of Mahzur that the upper part should hold the water for irrigation until it reaches the level of the sandal strap for crops and the level of the ankle for palm trees. Then the water should be released to the lower areas from that point.
