Hadith 2270

حَدَّثَنَا خُشَيْشُ بْنُ أَصْرَمَ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ، أَخْبَرَنَا الثَّوْرِيُّ ، عَنْ صَالِحٍ الْهَمْدَانِيِّ ، عَنْ الشَّعْبِيِّ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ خَيْرٍ ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَرْقَمَ ، قَالَ : " أُتِيَ عَلِيٌّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ بِثَلَاثَةٍ وَهُوَ بِالْيَمَنِ وَقَعُوا عَلَى امْرَأَةٍ فِي طُهْرٍ وَاحِدٍ ، فَسَأَلَ اثْنَيْنِ : أَتُقِرَّانِ لِهَذَا بِالْوَلَدِ ؟ قَالَا : لَا ، حَتَّى سَأَلَهُمْ جَمِيعًا ، فَجَعَلَ كُلَّمَا سَأَلَ اثْنَيْنِ ، قَالَا : لَا ، فَأَقْرَعَ بَيْنَهُمْ ، فَأَلْحَقَ الْوَلَدَ بِالَّذِي صَارَتْ عَلَيْهِ الْقُرْعَةُ وَجَعَلَ عَلَيْهِ ثُلُثَيِ الدِّيَةِ ، قَالَ : فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَضَحِكَ حَتَّى بَدَتْ نَوَاجِذُهُ " .
Narrated Zayd ibn Arqam: Three persons were brought to Ali (Allah be pleased with him) when he was in the Yemen. They and sexual intercourse with a woman during a single state of purity. He asked two of them: Do you acknowledge this child for this (man)? They replied: No. He then put this (question) to all of them. Whenever he asked two of them, they replied in the negative. He, therefore, cast a lot among them, and attributed the child to the one who received the lot. He imposed two-third of the blood-money (i. e. the price of the mother) on him. This was then mentioned to the Prophet ﷺ and he laughed so much that his molar teeth appeared.
