رَجُلٍ كَانَتْ لَهُ امْرَأَةٌ فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ بِشُهُودٍ أَنَّ هَذِهِ الْمَرْأَةَ امْرَأَةُ فُلَانٍ وَ جَاءَ آخَرُونَ فَشَهِدُوا أَنَّهَا امْرَأَةُ فُلَانٍ فَاعْتَدَلَ الشُّهُودُ وَ عُدِّلُوا قَالَ يُقْرَعُ بَيْنَ الشُّهُودِ فَمَنْ خَرَجَ سَهْمُهُ فَهُوَ الْمُحِقُّ وَ هُوَ أَوْلَى بِهَا .


Translation

Ali, from his father, from Ibn Fazzal, from Dawood Bin Abu Yazeed Al Attar, from one of his men, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> regarding a man for whom was a wife. So a man came over with witnesses that this woman is the wife of so and so, and others came over and testified that she is the wife of so and so. So the witnesses were all just’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘A lot would be drawn between the witnesses, for the one for whom the lot comes out, so he is the rightful, and he would be the first (to have the right) with it’.
