5426. It was narrated from Abû Mûsâ that two men referred a dispute to the Prophet ﷺ concerning an animal, and neither of them had any evidence, so he ruled that it be shared equally between them. (Hasan)

Arabic text

5424 - أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى، أَنَّ رَجُلَيْنِ اخْتَصَمَا إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي دَابَّةٍ لَيْسَ لِوَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا بَيِّنَةٌ «فَقَضَى بِهَا بَيْنَهُمَا نِصْفَيْنِ»

Commentary

'Evidence': For instance, a witness or any document, etc. Likewise, it was not in anyone's possession, or was under the possession of both of them. The contextual indications also did not point out any priority.
