Hadith.3344 - It is narrated by Shu'ayb from Abu Basir, from Abu Abdullah (as), that he mentioned: A group of people came to Commander of the Faithful Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as), disputing ownership of a mule. Both parties presented evidence.
One group claimed that they had raised it at their feeding trough, had neither sold it nor gifted it, and provided witnesses to support their claim.
The other group also claimed that they had raised it at their feeding trough, had neither sold it nor gifted it, and provided their own witnesses.
Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) ruled in favor of the group that had a greater number of witnesses and required them to take an oath to support their claim.
