Bulugh al-Maram 1430
وَعَنْ جَابِرٍ ‏- رضى الله عنه ‏- { أَنَّ رَجُلَيْنِ اِخْتَصَمَا فِي نَاقَةٍ, فَقَالَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَ ا 1‏ نُتِجَتْ عِنْدِي, وَأَقَامَا بَيِّنَةً, فَقَضَى بِهَا رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-لِمَنْ هِيَ فِي يَدِهِ } 2‏ .‏
Jabir (RA):

Two men disputed about a she-camel. Then, each of them said: this she-camel was born at my place, and each of them brought a proof (that it was his animal). Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) then ruled that it be taken by the one who had it in his possession.
