بَابُ الْقَضَاءِ بِالْقُرْعَةِ فِيمَا إِذَا إِذْهَا الْخَصْمَانِ مِلْكَ شَيْءٍ وَلَمْ يَكُن لَهُمَا بَينَةٌ وَمَا ذَا يَفْعَلُ إِذَا كَانَ لَهُمَا بينةٌ وَتَعَارَضَتِ البَيِّنَاتُ
Chapter: Judging by drawing lots when two litigants claim ownership and have no evidence, and what to do if both have evidence and the evidences conflict
Hadith 6422
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَجُلَيْنِ تَدَارَآ فِي دَابَّةٍ لَيْسَ لِوَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا بَيِّنَةٌ فَأَمَرَهُمَا نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يَسْتَهِمَا عَلَى الْيَمِينِ أَحَبَّا أَوْ كَرِهَا
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that two men disputed over an animal, while neither of them had any proof. So the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, ordered them to draw lots for taking an oath, whether they liked this ruling or not.
Hadith 6423
(وَعَنْهُ مِنْ طَرِيقٍ ثَانٍ) قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا أُكْرِهَ الِاثْنَانِ عَلَى الْيَمِينِ وَاسْتَحَبَّاهَا فَلْيَسْتَهِمَا عَلَيْهَا
(Second chain) The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: When both the claimant and the defendant are compelled to take an oath and they both agree to it, then lots should be drawn between them for the oath.
Hadith 6424
عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا أَنَّ رَجُلَيْنِ اخْتَصَمَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي دَابَّةٍ لَيْسَ لِوَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا بَيِّنَةٌ فَجَعَلَهَا بَيْنَهُمَا نِصْفَيْنِ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Musa Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) that two men brought a dispute over a beast of burden to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), while neither of them had any evidence. So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) divided the animal equally between them.
