3394 - وَ رَوَى اَلْبَزَنْطِيُّ عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ سِرْحَانَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : فِي رَجُلَيْنِ شَهِدَا عَلَى رَجُلٍ فِي أَمْرٍ وَ جَاءَ آخَرَانِ فَشَهِدَا عَلَى غَيْرِ اَلَّذِي شَهِدَ عَلَيْهِ اَلْأَوَّلاَنِ قَالَ "يُقْرَعُ بَيْنَهُمْ فَأَيُّهُمْ قَرَعَ فَعَلَيْهِ اَلْيَمِينُ وَ هُوَ أَوْلَى بِالْقَضَاءِ".

Hadith.3394 - Al-Bazanti narrated from Dawood ibn Sirhan, who said that Abu Abdillah (as) said: "In the case of two men who testified against another man regarding a matter, and then two others came and testified to something different from what the first two had testified-lots are drawn between them. Whichever group's lot is drawn, they shall take an oath, and their testimony will have precedence in judgment."
