3393 - وَ رَوَى زُرْعَةُ عَنْ سَمَاعَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ : "إِنَّ رَجُلَيْنِ اِخْتَصَمَا إِلَى عَلِيٍّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ فِي دَابَّةٍ فَزَعَمَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا أَنَّهَا نُتِجَتْ عَلَى مِذْوَدِهِ وَ أَقَامَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا بَيِّنَةً سَوَاءً فِي اَلْعَدَدِ فَأَقْرَعَ بَيْنَهُمَا سَهْمَيْنِ فَعَلَّمَ اَلسَّهْمَيْنِ عَلَى كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا بِعَلاَمَةٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ " اَللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ اَلسَّمَاوَاتِ اَلسَّبْعِ وَ رَبَّ اَلْأَرَضِينَ اَلسَّبْعِ وَ رَبَّ اَلْعَرْشِ اَلْعَظِيمِ عَالِمَ اَلْغَيْبِ وَ اَلشَّهَادَةِ اَلرَّحْمَنَ اَلرَّحِيمَ أَيُّهُمَا كَانَ صَاحِبَ اَلدَّابَّةِ وَ هُوَ أَوْلَى بِهَا فَأَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تُخْرِجَ سَهْمَهُ " فَخَرَجَ سَهْمُ أَحَدِهِمَا فَقَضَى لَهُ بِهَا".
Hadith.3393 - Zur'ah narrated from Sama'ah, who said that Abu Abdillah said:
"Two men disputed before Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib
over a beast, each claiming that it was born in his stable. Both presented equal evidence in number.
So, Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib
drew lots between them. He marked the two lots with distinct signs for each claimant, and then said:
'O Allah (swt), Lord (azj) of the seven heavens and the seven earths, and Lord (azj) of the Great Throne, Knower of the unseen and the seen, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate-whichever of these two is the rightful owner of the beast and has the stronger claim to it, I ask You to bring forth his lot.'
Then the lot of one of them was drawn, and Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib
ruled in his favor."
