حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُسْهِرٍ، عَنْ دَاوُدَ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ قَالَ:
كَانَتْ دَابَّةٌ فِي أَيْدِي أُنَاسٍ مِنَ الْأَزْدِ، فَادَّعَاهَا قَوْمٌ، فَأَقَامُوا الْبَيِّنَةَ أَنَّهَا دَابَّتُهُمْ أَضَلُّوهَا فِي زَمَانِ عُمَرَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ. فَأَقَامَ الَّذِينَ هِيَ فِي أَيْدِيهِمُ الْبَيِّنَةَ أَنَّهُمْ نَتَجُوهَا، فَرُفِعَ ذَلِكَ إِلَى قَاضِيهِمْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أُذَيْنَةَ، فَجَعَلَ هَؤُلَاءِ يَغْدُونَ بِبَيِّنَةٍ وَيَرُوحُ الْآخَرُونَ بِأَكْثَرَ مِنْهُمْ. فَكَتَبَ فِي ذَلِكَ إِلَى شُرَيْحٍ، فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ: " لَسْتُ مِنَ التَّهَاتُرِ وَالتَّكَاثُرِ فِي شَيْءٍ، وَالَّذِينَ أَقَامُوا الْبَيِّنَةَ أَنَّهُمْ نَتَجُوهَا وَهِيَ فِي أَيْدِيهِمْ أَحَقُّ، وَأُولَئِكَ أَوْلَى بِالشُّبْهَةِ

machine translationʿAlī b. Mushir narrated to us, from Dāwūd, from al-Shaʿbī, who said:
Machine translation, not reviewed
There was an animal in the hands of some men of al-Azd, and a group claimed it, and they established proof that it was their animal, which they had lost in the time of ʿUmar b. ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz. Then those in whose hands it was established proof that they had bred it. The matter was brought to their judge, ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. Udhaynah, and these would come in the morning with a proof and the others would come in the evening with more than them. So he wrote about that to Shurayḥ, and he wrote back to him: "I have nothing to do with contradictory claims and competing in numbers. Those who established proof that they bred it, while it is in their hands, have the better right, and those others are closer to doubt."
