How should the judge proceed if both parties claim to be the claimant simultaneously?

Primary text

The principal position (قياس المذهب) and the opinion of Al-Shafi'i suggest that a draw or lot (قرعة) should be cast between them, because neither is prioritized over the other, and it is impossible to hear both simultaneously. This is analogous to the case of two women being presented to a husband on the same night. This method is preferred because combining the judgment for both cases simultaneously is impossible, and postponing their matters results in harm to them, whereas casting lots removes the harm as much as possible, consistent with analogous rulings in Sharia.
