While two women were sleeping, each with her young son, and that was when al-Basrah was first built, a wolf came and seized one of the two boys. Each woman claimed the remaining boy. Their case was brought to Ka'b ibn Sawr, who summoned four of the qafah. Then he called for sand and had it spread out. Then he called one of the two groups and ordered them to walk on the sand, and then the others walked. Then he brought the boy and placed his foot in the sand. Then he separated the qafah and summoned them one by one and questioned them, and each of them attributed the boy to one of the two groups, saying, "This is his paternal cousin," and "This is such-and-such of his," until they all agreed on that. Then he gathered them and said, "Do you testify that he is of them?" They said, "Yes." He said, "Then four Muslims testified. I find no judgment for you other than this. Indeed, I am not Sulayman ibn Dawud."
