The Case of Two People who Claim for Something Each one with Testimony

4- عَنْهُ عَنْ مُعَلَّى بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْوَشَّاءِ عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ سِرْحَانَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) فِي شَاهِدَيْنِ شَهِدَا عَلَى أَمْرٍ وَاحِدٍ وَجَاءَ آخَرَانِ فَشَهِدَا عَلَى غَيْرِ الَّذِي شَهِدَا وَاخْتَلَفُوا قَالَ يُقْرَعُ بَيْنَهُمْ فَأَيُّهُمْ قُرِعَ عَلَيْهِ الْيَمِينُ فَهُوَ أَوْلَى بِالْقَضَاءِ.
4. It is narrated from the narrator of the previous Hadith from Mu‘alla’ ibn Muhammad ibn Muhammad from al-Washsha’ from Dawud ibn Sarhan who has narrated the following: “About the case of two witnesses who testify about one thing and two others testify differently, abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, has said that a raffle must be arranged and whoever ’s name comes out to take an oath then judgment must be issued in his favor.’”
