حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى ، عَنْ الْأَجْلَحِ ، عَنْ الشَّعْبِيِّ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْخَلِيلِ ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَرْقَمَ ، قَالَ : كُنْتُ جَالِسًا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ الْيَمَنِ ، فَقَالَ : إِنَّ ثَلَاثَةَ نَفَرٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْيَمَنِ أَتَوْا عَلِيًّا يَخْتَصِمُونَ إِلَيْهِ فِي وَلَدٍ وَقَدْ وَقَعُوا عَلَى امْرَأَةٍ فِي طُهْرٍ وَاحِدٍ ، فَقَالَ لِاثْنَيْنِ مِنْهُمَا : طِيبَا بِالْوَلَدِ ، لِهَذَا فَغَلَيَا ، ثُمَّ قَالَ لِاثْنَيْنِ : طِيبَا بِالْوَلَدِ ، لِهَذَا فَغَلَبَا ، ثُمَّ قَالَ لِاثْنَيْنِ : طِيبَا بِالْوَلَدِ ، لِهَذَا فَغَلَبَا ، فَقَالَ : " أَنْتُمْ شُرَكَاءُ مُتَشَاكِسُونَ ، إِنِّي مُقْرِعٌ بَيْنَكُمْ ، فَمَنْ قُرِعَ فَلَهُ الْوَلَدُ وَعَلَيْهِ لِصَاحِبَيْهِ ثُلُثَا الدِّيَةِ " ، فَأَقْرَعَ بَيْنَهُمْ فَجَعَلَهُ لِمَنْ قُرِعَ ، فَضَحِكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَتَّى بَدَتْ أَضْرَاسُهُ أَوْ نَوَاجِذُهُ .
Narrated Zayd ibn Arqam: I was sitting with the Prophet ﷺ. A man came from the Yemen, and said: Three men from the people of the Yemen came to Ali, quarrelling about a child, asking him to give a decision. They had had sexual intercourse with a woman during a single state of purity. He said to two of them: Give this child to this man (the third person) with pleasure. But they (refused and) cried loudly. Again he said to two of them: Give the child to the man (the third person) willingly. But they (refused and) cried loudly. He then said: You are quarrelsome partners. I shall cast lots among you; he who receives the lot, will acquire the child, and he shall pay two-thirds of the blood-money to both his companions. He then cast lots among them, and gave the child to the one who received the lot. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ laughed so much that his canine or molar teeth appeared.
