[Machine] Two men disputed over a property and brought their case to the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ . Neither of them had any clear evidence, so the Prophet ﷺ said to them, "Both of you should swear an oath according to your own desires, whether you like it or not." Then Abu Ali al-Rudhbary narrated to us, saying Muhammad ibn Bakr informed us, saying Abu Dawud narrated to us, saying Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shaybah narrated to us, saying Khalid ibn al-Harith narrated to us from Sa'id ibn Abi 'Arubah, with the same chain of narration he said, "This is concerning a dispute over an animal, and they both have no clear evidence. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered them to swear an oath according to their own desires." The scholar said, "It is possible that this issue is a continuation of the first issue in the hadith of Abu Burdah, as if the Prophet ﷺ allowed them to divide the case into two parts and settle it with the rule of the hand. So each of them sought the right of the other person in the half that had been ruled in their favor, and the Prophet ﷺ made them swear an oath regarding it. Then they disputed at first, so he ordered them to cast lots according to the oath they had taken, and Allah knows best."
