How should the claim be judged if one witness specifies a time period and the other gives an unqualified claim of ownership?

Abu Al-Khattab suggests that judgment should be rendered in favor of the witness whose claim was not time-bound. This is the position held by Abu Yusuf and Muhammad. The justification for equality, however, rests on the fact that neither testimony contains an element that warrants preference based on earlier ownership or any other distinguishing feature, necessitating equality, just as if both claims were unqualified or had the same date.
