[Machine] Two men claimed ownership of a camel and they found it with another man. Each of them brought two witnesses that it was their camel. The Prophet ﷺ ruled that the camel should be divided in two halves between the two men. Abu Abdullah al-Misri said that this hadith is weak, and Muhammad ibn Kathir said that this is al-Masseyasiyya, who is trustworthy but prone to mistakes. Abdu Abdur Rahman disagreed with him, and Saeed ibn Abi Arooba disagreed with him in both the chain of narration and the text.

That two men referred a dispute to the Prophet [SAW] concerning an animal, and neither of them had any evidence, so he ruled that it be shared equally between them. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 5424)

أَنَّ رَجُلَيْنِ اخْتَصَمَا إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي دَابَّةٍ لَيْسَ لِوَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا بَيِّنَةٌ «فَقَضَى بِهَا بَيْنَهُمَا نِصْفَيْنِ» قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ إِسْنَادُ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ جَيِّدٌ
