4. [4/-] al-Kafi: Muhammad b. Yahya from Ahmad b. Muhammad from Muhammad b. Yahya from Ghiyath b. Ibrahim from Abi Abdillah عليه السلام that: two people disputed about an animal in front of the commander of the faithful عليه السلام and both were able to produce evidence [witnesses] that they foaled it, so he ruled in favour of the one in whose hands it was [possessed it already], and he said: if it was not in his possession I would have divided it equally between them.

- Arabic and English texts preserved verbatim from pinned snapshot. Compiler introduction excluded where present; references mapped to fields; assessment whitespace trimmed; source-supplied English sanad retained separately. Search normalization is not applied to displayed text.
- verification Note
- Publisher content rights, translator attribution and structural checks, with independent publisher-page spot checks—not scholarly authentication or printed-edition collation. Historical text and scholarly reference strings may contain source errors; they are not silently corrected. No full commentary prose or inferred narrator identity is added. Muʿjam coverage, where present, is only the supplied excerpt, not the complete work.
