The commentary deals with a letter by Ibn Zaydūn concerning his feud with a minister named Ibn ‘Abdūs, which STEMMED from the rivalry of the two men for the affections of Wallada bint al-Mustakfī (994—1091), herself a well-known poet and the daughter of Caliph Muhammad III of Cordoba.

Explanation:
Ambas sãocorretas. É questão de escolher estilo. O verbo "to stem" vem do substantivo "stem" ou haste, e indica uma ligação de algum tipo. Dependendo do contexto (sempre o bendito contexto) pode mudar muito, mas aqui o termo a ser traduzido não é tão sutil

Explanation:
«... which STEMMED from the rivalry of the two men...»
Que RESULTOU da rivalidade entre os dois homens

Concordo com coolbrown, mas penso que o sentido é, pelo contrário, mais subtil.
