Commentary

Darussalam

Sourcing, hasan. Abu Dawud reported it in the Book of Judgments, Chapter on Two Men Who Both Claim Something Without Any Evidence Between Them, hadith no. 3613, from the hadith of Qatada with this wording. Shayba narrated it from Qatada with this wording in Sunan al-Kubra by Bayhaqi, 10/257, and in the printed Musnad of Imam Ahmad, 4/402, and it has very many corroborating narrations.
