I replied: "He said that if two men were on a ship, one of whom had one hundred thousand (in wealth) and the other had nothing, and the ship sank, and it was not known which of them died first, the inheritance would go to the heirs of the one who had nothing, and the heirs of the wealthy one would receive nothing." Abu Abdullah (as) said: "Indeed, he has heard it, and it is exactly as it should be."

Abu Hanifah replied: "Half of this one and half of that one should be freed, and the wealth should be divided equally between them." Abu Abdullah (as) said: "It is not so. Rather, a draw (lot) should be cast between them, and the one upon whom the lot falls is the free one, and the other is freed and made his client (mawla)."
