Sunan Abi Dawud 3617 (Book 25, Hadith 47) #23907
Resolving Disputes Through Casting Lots

SUMMARY: When two people are in disagreement, they can use a method of casting lots to decide the truth.

Abu hurairah reported the holy prophet (peace be upon him) as saying: When two men dislike the oath or like it,lots will be cost about it. Salamah said on the authority of Ma’mar who said: when the two are compelled to take an oath.
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ، وَسَلَمَةُ بْنُ شَبِيبٍ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، - قَالَ أَحْمَدُ قَالَ - حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنْ هَمَّامِ بْنِ مُنَبِّهٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ إِذَا كَرِهَ الاِثْنَانِ الْيَمِينَ أَوِ اسْتَحَبَّاهَا فَلْيَسْتَهِمَا عَلَيْهَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ سَلَمَةُ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ وَقَالَ إِذَا أُكْرِهَ الاِثْنَانِ عَلَى الْيَمِينِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about resolving disputes between two people. It teaches us that when two people disagree and cannot come to an agreement, they can cast lots as a way of deciding the truth. This is a method that has been used since ancient times and it involves randomly selecting one option from among several possibilities. In this case, it would involve randomly selecting one person's opinion over another's. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught us that this is an acceptable way of settling disputes between two parties who cannot agree on something. It also teaches us the importance of fairness and justice in resolving conflicts, as both parties must be willing to accept the outcome regardless of who wins or loses.
