A purse claimed by two men

Ibn Abi Layla, Ibn Shubrumah and Rabi'ah al-Ra'y spoke about two people who have a purse between them, one of whom claims part of it and the other the whole purse. Ibn Shubrumah said: The one who claimed the whole has half of it purely his, and the remaining half will be divided equally between the two of them.

And Ibn Abi Layla said: One will receive a third and the other two-thirds.

And Rabi'ah said: All of it will be divided equally between the two of them.

It is narrated from al-Harith concerning two people who held wealth in common: one of them claimed half of the wealth and the other claimed two-thirds. He said: The one claiming two-thirds will receive half of the wealth, because the one who claimed half has disowned the other half; and the one who claimed half will be given a third, because the one claiming two-thirds has disowned a third. A sixth remains, and both of them claim it, so it will be divided between the two of them in two halves.
