Hadith.3397 - Musa ibn al-Qasim al-Bajali and Ali ibn al-Hakam narrated from Abd al-Rahman ibn Abi Abdillah, who said: Abu Abdillah (as) said: "'Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as), whenever two men came to him disputing with an equal number of witnesses of equal integrity, would draw lots between them to determine upon whom the oath would fall. Then Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) would say: O Allah (swt), Lord (azj) of the seven heavens and Lord (azj) of the seven earths, grant the right to the one it belongs to. After that, he would assign the right to the one upon whom the oath was placed if he took the oath.'"

Hadith.3398 - Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub narrated from Jamil, from Fudhayl ibn Yasar, who said: "I asked Abu Abdillah (as) about a newborn who has neither the features of males nor the features of females. Imam (as) said: 'The Imam draws lots for this case. He writes on one lot "Abdullah" (servant of Allah (swt)) and on another lot "Amatullah" (maidservant of Allah (swt)). Then the Imam or the one drawing the lot says: 'O Allah (swt), You are Allah (swt), there is no god but You, Knower of the unseen and the seen. You judge among Your servants concerning that in which they differ. Make clear to us the matter of this newborn so that he may inherit what You have ordained for him in Your Book.' Then he (the Imam) places the two lots into other unspecified lots, and they are mixed. Whichever lot is drawn, the inheritance is based on it."

Hadith.3399 - Asim ibn Humayd narrated from Abu Basir, from Abu Ja'far Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as): "The Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace be upon him and his family) sent Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) to Yemen. When he returned, the Prophet (peace be upon him and his family) said to him, 'Tell me about the most astonishing case that came to you.' Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) said: 'O Messenger of Allah (swt), a group of people came to me who had jointly purchased a bondwoman. They all had relations with her during the same period of purity, and she gave birth to a boy. They disputed over him, with each claiming him. I drew lots among them, assigning the child to the one whose lot was drawn, and I made him liable for the shares of the others.' The Prophet (peace be upon him and his family) said: 'Whenever a group draws lots and entrusts their matter to Allah (swt), the rightful one's lot will come forth.'"
