Sunan Ibn Majah 2346 (Book 13, Hadith 39) #31698
Resolving Disputes Through Drawing Lots

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad commanded two men who were in dispute over a transaction to draw lots to determine which of them should swear an oath.

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that : two men disputed concerning a transaction, and neither of them had proof. The Messenger of Allah commanded them to draw lots as to which of them should swear an oath, whether they liked it or not.
حَدَّثَنَا جَمِيلُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الْعَتَكِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الأَعْلَى، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ خِلاَسٍ، عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَجُلَيْنِ، تَدَارَءَا فِي بَيْعٍ لَيْسَ لِوَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا بَيِّنَةٌ فَأَمَرَهُمَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ أَنْ يَسْتَهِمَا عَلَى الْيَمِينِ أَحَبَّا ذَلِكَ أَمْ كَرِهَا

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about resolving disputes between two people. In this hadith, the Prophet Muhammad commanded two men who were in dispute over a transaction to draw lots as a way of determining which of them should swear an oath. This means that they would have to choose one person randomly and that person would have to take an oath, whether they liked it or not. This teaches us that when we are in disagreement with someone, we should try our best to resolve the issue peacefully and fairly without resorting to violence or other forms of aggression. It also teaches us the importance of being honest and truthful when making promises or taking oaths, as this is something that Allah expects from us all.
