6- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ غِيَاثِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ أَنَّ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ اخْتَصَمَ إِلَيْهِ رَجُلانِ فِي دَابَّةٍ وَكِلاهُمَا أَقَامَ الْبَيِّنَةَ أَنَّهُ أَنْتَجَهَا فَقَضَى بِهَا لِلَّذِي هِيَ فِي يَدِهِ وَقَالَ لَوْ لَمْ تَكُنْ فِي يَدِهِ جَعَلْتُهَا بَيْنَهُمَا نِصْفَيْنِ.

6. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Muhammad ibn Yahya from Ghiyath ibn Ibrahim who has narrated the following: “Abu ‘ Abd Allah , has said that once two men presented their case before Amir al- Mu’minin, Ali , about a stumper and both presented testimony that he has bred it in his facilities. He (the Imam) issued a judgment in favor of the one who had it in his possession saying, ‘Had it not been in his possession I would make it one-half for each one of them.’”
