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.'"
3397 - وَ رَوَى مُوسَى بْنُ اَلْقَاسِمِ اَلْبَجَلِيُّ وَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ اَلْحَكَمِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَلرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ قَالَ
قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : "كَانَ عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ إِذَا أَتَاهُ رَجُلاَنِ يَخْتَصِمَانِ بِشُهُودٍ عِدَّتُهُمْ سَوَاءٌ وَ عَدَالَتُهُمْ سَوَاءٌ أَقْرَعَ بَيْنَهُمَا عَلَى أَيِّهِمَا تَصِيرُ اَلْيَمِينُ وَ كَانَ يَقُولُ " اَللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ اَلسَّمَاوَاتِ اَلسَّبْعِ وَ رَبَّ اَلْأَرَضِينَ اَلسَّبْعِ مَنْ كَانَ اَلْحَقُّ لَهُ فَأَدِّهِ إِلَيْهِ " ثُمَّ يَجْعَلُ اَلْحَقَّ لِلَّذِي تَصِيرُ اَلْيَمِينُ عَلَيْهِ إِذَا حَلَفَ".
