Hadith 1427
Narrated Abu Musa (RA): Two men had a disputer over an animal, and neither of them had a proof. So Allah's Messenger (SAW) gave a ruling that it be divided in halves between them. [Reported by Ahmad, Abu Dawud and an-Nasa'i, and the wording is his (an-Nasa'i) who said that it's chain of narrators is Jayyid (good)].
وَعَنْ أَبَى مُوسَى [ اَلْأَشْعَرِيِّ ] - رضى الله عنه - { أَنَّ رَجُلَيْنِ اِخْتَصَمَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اَللَّهِ - صلى الله عليه وسلم -فِي دَابَّةٍ, لَيْسَ لِوَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا بَيِّنَةٌ, فَقَضَى بِهَا رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ > <sup>1</sup> <sup>2</sup> . بَيْنَهُمَا نِصْفَيْنِ } رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ, وَأَبُو دَاوُدَ, وَالنَّسَائِيُّ وَهَذَا لَفْظُهُ, وَقَالَ: إِسْنَادُهُ جَيِّد ٌ <sup>3</sup> .
