Bayhaqi Q21213 — Two litigants dispute over property

قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ: " فَهُوَ فِي الظَّاهِرِ بَيْنَهُمَا نِصْفَانِ، فَإِنْ لَمْ يَجِدْ وَاحِدٌ مِنْهُمَا بَيِّنَةً أَحْلَفْنَا كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا عَلَى دَعْوَى صَاحِبِهِ ".
Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "Then outwardly it (the item) is divided between the two of them in halves; and if neither of them finds proof (testimony), we will make each of them swear an oath against the claim of the other."
