النَّبِيُّ ص يُدْخِلُ الْفِيلَ سَفِينَةً ثُمَّ يَنْظُرُ إِلَى مَوْضِعِ مَبْلَغِ الْمَاءِ مِنَ السَّفِينَةِ فَيُعَلِّمُ عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ يُخْرِجُ الْفِيلَ وَ يُلْقِي فِي السَّفِينَةِ حَدِيداً أَوْ صُفْراً أَوْ مَا شَاءَ فَإِذَا بَلَغَ الْمَوْضِعَ الَّذِي عَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِ أَخْرَجَهُ وَ وَزَنَهُ.

Hadith.3245 - In the narration of al-Nadr ibn Suwayd, attributed to the Prophet (peace be upon him and his family): A man swore an oath that he would weigh an elephant. The Prophet (peace be upon him and his family) said: "He should place the elephant in a boat, then observe the water level reached by the boat and mark it. After that, he should remove the elephant and load the boat with iron, copper, or anything he wishes until it reaches the marked water level. Then, he should take out the loaded material and weigh it."

Hadith.3246 - In the narration of Amr ibn Shimr, from Jafar ibn Ghalib al-Asadi, who reported: Two men were sitting during the time of Umar ibn al-Khattab when a man passed by them in chains. One of the men said: "If there is not such-and-such weight in his chains, then my wife is divorced three times." The other man said: "If there is such-and-such weight in his chains as you said, then my wife is divorced three times." They went to the owner of the chained slave and said: "We have sworn oaths regarding such-and-such, so release the chain of your slave so that we may weigh it." The owner of the slave said: "My wife will be divorced if I release the chain of my slave." So, they went to Umar and told him the story. Umar said: "The owner has more right over his slave. Go to Ali ibn Abi Talib - perhaps he has something regarding this matter." They went to Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) and told him the story. Imam (as) said: "How simple this is!" Imam (as) called for a large basin and ordered the chain to be tied with a string and placed in the basin. Then Imam (as) put the man's feet and the chain into the basin and filled it with water until it was full. Then Imam (as) said: "Lift the chain." When they lifted the chain out of the water, the water level dropped. Imam (as) then called for pieces of iron and placed them into the water until the water level returned to its original position. Then Imam (as) said: "Weigh these pieces of iron-they are equal in weight to the chain."

Hadith.3247 - Ahmad ibn A'idh narrated from Abu Salamah, from Abu Abdillah (as), regarding two slave men who were authorized to buy and sell with the wealth of their masters. A dispute arose between them, and they fought. Each ran to the master of the other. They were equal in strength. One purchased the other from his master, and the other did the same, purchasing his opponent from his master. Then each of them grabbed the collar of the other, saying, "You are my slave; I have purchased you." Imam (as) said: "They should be judged based on the point where they separated. The path should be measured, and whichever one was closer to his master, he is considered to have reached first and thus has precedence over the one farther away. But if both distances are equal, they are returned to their respective masters."

Hadith.3248 - In the narration of Ibrahim ibn Muhammad al-Thaqafi: Two men entrusted a woman with a deposit and said to her, "Do not give it to either of us until we both come together to collect it." Then they left and were absent for a while. One of them came to her and said: "Give me my deposit, for my companion has died." She refused, but he repeatedly came to her until she finally gave it to him. Later, the other man came and said: "Give me my deposit." She replied: "Your companion took it and claimed that you had died." They brought their case before Umar, who said to her, "I see no way except that you are liable." The woman said: "Make Ali (as) judge between me and him." So Umar said to Imam (as): "Judge between them." Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) said: "This deposit is still with her, and you both instructed her not to hand it over to either of you until you were both present. Bring your companion to me." Thus, Imam (as) did not hold her liable. Then Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) said: "They only intended to deceive the woman and take her wealth."

The injured man claimed that he could no longer see with his eyes, could not smell any fragrance, and had lost his speech, becoming mute. Commander of the Faithful (as) said: "If he is truthful, then he is entitled to three blood-money compensations." It was asked: "O Commander of the Faithful, how can it be verified whether he is truthful?" Imam (as) replied: "As for what he claims about his eyes, that he cannot see, it can be verified by asking him to look up at the sun. If he is healthy, he will be unable to stop himself from closing his eyes, but if he is truthful and cannot see, his eyes will remain open. As for his claim about his nose, that he cannot smell, it can be verified by bringing something pungent close to his nose. If he is healthy, the smell will reach his brain, his eyes will water, and he will turn his head away. As for his claim about his tongue, that he is mute and cannot speak, it can be verified by pricking his tongue with a needle. If he is able to speak, the blood will flow red, but if he is mute, the blood will flow black."

Hadith.3251 - Sad ibn Tarif narrated from Al-Asbagh ibn Nubatah who said: A woman was brought before Umar ibn al-Khattab, and witnesses testified against her that she had committed adultery. Her story was that she was an orphan raised in the house of a man who had a wife. The man would frequently be away from home. The orphan grew up to be beautiful, and the man's wife feared that her husband might marry the orphan upon his return. So, the wife called some women from her neighborhood, restrained the orphan, and violated her with her finger. When the husband returned, his wife accused the orphan of indecency and brought forth witnesses from her neighbors to support her claim. The case was presented to Umar ibn al-Khattab, but he did not know how to judge it. He said to the man, "Take her to Ali ibn Abi Talib (as)." They came to Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) and told him the story. Imam (as) said to the man's wife: "Do you have witnesses?" She replied: "Yes, these are my neighbors who testify to what I say." Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) then drew his sword from its sheath and placed it in front of him. Imam (as) ordered each witness to be taken into a separate room. Then Imam (as) called the man's wife and interrogated her from every angle, but she insisted on her accusation. Imam (as) sent her back to the room and then summoned one of the witnesses. Imam (as) knelt before her and said: "Do you know who I am? I am Ali ibn Abi Talib, and this is my sword. The man's wife has confessed and returned to the truth. I have granted her safety. Now, speak the truth, or I will fill this sword with your blood." The woman then turned to Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) and said: "O Commander of the Faithful, I seek safety in exchange for speaking the truth." Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) said to her: "Speak the truth." She said: "No, by Allah (swt), the orphan did not commit adultery. However, the man's wife, when she saw her beauty, charm, and appearance, feared that her husband might be attracted to her. So she gave her intoxicants to drink, called us, and we restrained her. Then, she violated her with her finger." Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) said: "Allah (swt) is the Greatest! Allah (swt) is the Greatest! I am the first to separate witnesses, except for (Prophet) Daniel (as)." Then Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) sentenced the man's wife to the punishment for false accusation and obligated her and those who assisted her in violating the orphan girl to pay her a dowry of four hundred dirhams. Imam (as) also separated the woman from her husband and married the orphan girl to him, paying her dowry from the husband's wealth. Upon witnessing this judgment, Umar ibn al-Khattab said: "Tell us, O Abu al-Hasan, about the story of Prophet Daniel (as)." Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) said: "Daniel was a young orphan who had neither father nor mother. An elderly woman from the Children of Israel took him in and raised him. There was a king among the Children of Israel who had two judges. The king had a pious and righteous friend who had a beautiful wife. This man used to visit the king and speak with him. One day, the king needed to send someone on a mission, so he said to the two judges, 'Choose for me a man whom I can send on this task.' They said: 'Send this man (the pious friend).' So, the king sent him." The man said to the two judges, "I entrust my wife to your care and advise you to treat her well." They replied: "Yes." After the man left, the two judges began visiting the house of the pious man and fell in love with his wife. They tried to seduce her, but she refused. They said to her, "If you do not yield to us, we will testify against you before the king that you have committed adultery, and you will be stoned." She replied: "Do as you wish." So, they went to the king and testified against her, claiming that she had committed adultery. The woman was well-known for her piety and virtue, and the matter deeply troubled the king, for he admired her. The king said to them, "Your testimony is accepted, but delay her punishment for three days, and then stone her." He then announced throughout his city, "Attend the execution of so-and-so, the devout woman, for she has committed adultery, as testified by the two judges." The people began talking about the matter extensively. The king asked his minister, "Do you have any solution to this situation?" The minister replied: "No, by Allah (swt), I have no solution for this matter." On the third day, the minister went out, as it was the last day for the woman. Along the way, he saw a group of naked boys playing, and among them was Daniel. Daniel said: "O children, come here! Let me be the king, and you, so-and-so, be the devout woman. Let these two boys be the judges who testified against her." He gathered some dirt and made a sword out of reeds. Then he said to the children, "Take this one and place him in one spot, and take the other and place him in another spot." The minister was watching all of this. Then Daniel called one of the boys who was acting as a judge and said to him, "Speak the truth, for if you do not speak the truth, I will kill you." The boy said: "Yes," while the minister listened attentively. Daniel then asked him, "What do you testify against this woman?" The boy replied: "I testify that she committed adultery." Daniel asked: "On what day?" The boy said: "On such-and-such a day." Daniel asked: "At what time?" The boy replied: "At such-and-such a time." Daniel asked: "In what place?" The boy said: "In such-and-such a place." Daniel asked: "With whom?" The boy said: "With so-and-so, the son of so-and-so." Then Daniel said: "Return this one to his place and bring the other one." They returned the first boy and brought the second one. Daniel questioned him about the same details, but his answers contradicted those of the first boy. At this, Daniel said: "Allah (swt) is the Greatest! Allah (swt) is the Greatest! They have testified falsely against her." He then called out to the children, "The two judges have testified falsely against this woman. Come and witness their execution." The minister rushed to the king and informed him of what had happened. The king sent for the two judges, brought them in, and separated them. He questioned them just as Daniel had questioned the boys, and they contradicted each other, just as the boys had. The king then announced their guilt to the people and ordered their execution."

Hadith.3254 - Amr ibn Thabit narrated from his father, from Sad ibn Tarif, from Al-Asbagh ibn Nubatah, who said: A woman was brought before Umar ibn al-Khattab. She had married an old man who died while lying on top of her after consummating the marriage. Later, she gave birth to a child. The old man's sons accused her of adultery and testified against her. Umar ordered that she be stoned. As they were leading her away, they passed by Commander of the Faithful Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as). She called out: "O cousin of the Messenger of Allah (swt)! I am wronged, and this is my evidence." Imam (as) said: "Present your evidence." She handed him a letter, and Imam (as) read it. Then Imam (as) said: "This woman is informing you of the date of her marriage, the date of consummation, and how it occurred. Return the woman." The next day, Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) summoned some children who were of the same age as the woman's child and told them to play. They played until they became distracted. Then Imam (as) called out to them suddenly, and they all stood up, including the woman's child, who stood leaning on both his palms for support. Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) called the child forward, confirmed his paternity, and ruled that he inherit from his father. He then ordered the brothers, who had falsely accused the woman, to be lashed one by one as the punishment for false accusation. Umar asked Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as): "How did you reach this judgment?" Imam (as) replied: "I recognized the frailty of the old man from the way the child leaned on his palms to stand up."

Hadith.3256 - Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) judged in the case of a woman who came to him and said: "My husband has had relations with my bondwoman without my permission." Imam (as) said to the man: "What do you say?" The man replied: "I did not approach her except with her permission." Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) said: "If you are truthful, we will stone him. But if you are lying, we will administer the prescribed punishment (lashes) on you." At that moment, the call for prayer was made, and Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) stood up to pray. While Imam (as) prayed, the woman reflected and saw no benefit in having her husband stoned, nor in facing the punishment herself. She left and did not return, and Commander of the Faithful (as) did not inquire about her afterward.

Hadith.3257 - Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) judged in the case of a man who was brought by two others who said: "This man has stolen a coat of armor." The accused pleaded with Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) to examine the evidence carefully and said: "By Allah (swt), if the Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace be upon him and his family) were here, he would never cut off my hand." Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) asked: "Why?" The man replied: "Because my Lord (azj), the Almighty, would have informed him of my innocence, and He (sw) would have declared me innocent based on that knowledge." When Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) saw how the man pleaded, Imam (as) called the two witnesses and said to them: "Fear Allah (swt), and do not have this man's hand cut off unjustly." Imam (as) continued to appeal to them and then said: "Let one of you cut off his hand while the other holds it." As they prepared to execute the sentence, they stirred the people, causing a commotion in the crowd. In the chaos, they released the accused man and fled, blending into the crowd. The accused man then returned and said: "O Commander of the Faithful, these two men testified against me falsely. When the crowd was stirred, they released me and fled. If they were truthful, they would neither have fled nor let me go." Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) said: "Who can lead me to these two witnesses so that I may punish them?"
