Hadith 251
Hadith.3393 - Zur'ah narrated from Sama'ah, who said that Abu Abdillah (as) said
"Two men disputed before Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) over a beast, each claiming that it was born in his stable. Both presented equal evidence in number. So, Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) drew lots between them. He marked the two lots with distinct signs for each claimant, and then said: 'O Allah (swt), Lord (azj) of the seven heavens and the seven earths, and Lord (azj) of the Great Throne, Knower of the unseen and the seen, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate-whichever of these two is the rightful owner of the beast and has the stronger claim to it, I ask You to bring forth his lot.' Then the lot of one of them was drawn, and Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) ruled in his favor."
