Abu Hurairah reported the holy prophet ﷺ as saying: When two men dislike the oath or like it, lots will be cost about it. Salamah said on the authority of Mamar who said: when the two are compelled to take an oath.

Narrated Abu Hurairah: Two men disputed about some property and brought the case to the Holy Prophet ﷺ, but neither of them could produce any proof. So the Holy Prophet ﷺ said: Cast lots about the oath whatever it may be, whether they like it or dislike it.

The tradition mentioned above has also been transmitted by Saeed bin ‘Urubah through the chain as narrated by Ibn Minhal. This version has: About an animal and they had no proof. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered to cast lots about the oath.
