Chapter on Judging by Administering an Oath to the Claimant Against the Deceased After Presenting Evidence

Abu Basir narrated that he asked Abu Abdullah عليه السلام, about a man who comes to a group of people and claims ownership of a house in their possession. He provides evidence, and the one in possession of the house also provides evidence that he inherited it from his father but does not know its exact history. Abu Abdullah عليه السلام, replied: "The one with more evidence is required to take an oath, and the house is given to him."
