۞
3. [3/-] al-Kafi: Muhammad b. Yahya from Muhammad b. Ahmad from al-Khashshab from Ghiyath b. Kalub from Ishaq b. Ammar from Abi Abdillah عليه السلام that
two men disputed with each other in front of the commander of the faithful عليه السلام about an animal (each one laid a claim to it) … it was said to him: what if it is not in the hands of either one of them [no one has possession of it] but both produce evidence [have witnesses for it]? he said: I make them both to swear an oath and I rule in favour of the one who swears and against the one who reneges, but if both of them swear I rule for each of them to have one-half of it …
[-/3] الكافي: محمد بن يحيى، عن محمد بن أحمد، عن الخشاب، عن غياث بن كلوب، عن إسحاق بن عمار، عن أبي عبدالله عليه السلام أن رجلين اختصما إلى أمير المؤمنين عليه السلام في دابة … فقيل له: فلو لم تكن في يد واحد منهما وأقاما البينة؟ قال
أحلفهما فأيهما حلف ونكل الآخر جعلتها للحالف، فإن حلفا جميعا جعلتها بينهما نصفين …
