Hadith.3399 - Asim ibn Humayd narrated from Abu Basir, from Abu Ja'far Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as): "The Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace be upon him and his family) sent Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) to Yemen. When he returned, the Prophet (peace be upon him and his family) said to him, 'Tell me about the most astonishing case that came to you.' Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) said
'O Messenger of Allah (swt), a group of people came to me who had jointly purchased a bondwoman. They all had relations with her during the same period of purity, and she gave birth to a boy. They disputed over him, with each claiming him. I drew lots among them, assigning the child to the one whose lot was drawn, and I made him liable for the shares of the others.' The Prophet (peace be upon him and his family) said: 'Whenever a group draws lots and entrusts their matter to Allah (swt), the rightful one's lot will come forth.'"
3399 - وَ رَوَى عَاصِمُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ
"بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ عَلِيّاً عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ إِلَى اَلْيَمَنِ فَقَالَ لَهُ حِينَ قَدِمَ "حَدِّثْنِي بِأَعْجَبِ مَا وَرَدَ عَلَيْكَ" قَالَ "يَا رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ أَتَانِي قَوْمٌ قَدْ تَبَايَعُوا جَارِيَةً فَوَطِئُوهَا جَمِيعاً فِي طُهْرٍ وَاحِدٍ فَوَلَدَتْ غُلاَماً فَاخْتَلَفُوا فِيهِ كُلُّهُمْ يَدَّعِي فِيهِ فَأَسْهَمْتُ بَيْنَهُمْ ثَلاَثَةً فَجَعَلْتُهُ لِلَّذِي خَرَجَ سَهْمُهُ وَ ضَمَّنْتُهُ نَصِيبَهُمْ" فَقَالَ اَلنَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ "لَيْسَ مِنْ قَوْمٍ تَقَارَعُوا وَ فَوَّضُوا أَمْرَهُمْ إِلَى اَللَّهِ إِلاَّ خَرَجَ سَهْمُ اَلْمُحِقِّ" ".
