Shu'bi narrates that Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) gave a verdict regarding two men who had intercourse with a woman during the same period of purity, from which she bore a child, that the child should be divided between the two of them, in such a way that the child would be the heir of both, and both would be the heirs of the child, and the child would go to the one among them who lived longer.
