حَدَّثَنَا الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ نَافِعٍ أَبُو تَوْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ الْمُبَارَکِ عَنْ أُسَامَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ رَافِعٍ مَوْلَی أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ قَالَتْ أَتَی رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَجُلَانِ يَخْتَصِمَانِ فِي مَوَارِيثَ لَهُمَا لَمْ تَکُنْ لَهُمَا بَيِّنَةٌ إِلَّا دَعْوَاهُمَا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَذَکَرَ مِثْلَهُ فَبَکَی الرَّجُلَانِ وَقَالَ کُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا حَقِّي لَکَ فَقَالَ لَهُمَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَمَّا إِذْ فَعَلْتُمَا مَا فَعَلْتُمَا فَاقْتَسِمَا وَتَوَخَّيَا الْحَقَّ ثُمَّ اسْتَهَمَا ثُمَّ تَحَالَّا
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 3584
Umm Salamah said: Two men came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ who were disputing over their inheritance. They had no evidence except their claim. The Prophet ﷺ then said in a similar way. Thereupon both the men wept and each of them said: This right of mine go to you. The Prophet ﷺ then said: Now you have done whatever you have done ; do divide it up, aiming at what is right, then drew lots, and let each of you consider the other to have what is legitimately his"
