حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ قَالَ : نَا أُمَيَّةُ بْنُ بِسْطَامٍ قَالَ : نَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ قَالَ : نَا رَوْحُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَجْلَانَ ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ ، عَنِ الْأَعْرَجِ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : أَنَّ امْرَأَتَيْنِ أَتَتَا دَاوُدَ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَدْ أَكَلَ أَحَدَ ابْنَيْهِمَا الذِّئْبُ ، تَخْتَصِمَانِ فِي الْبَاقِي ، فَقَضَى بِهِ دَاوُدُ لِلْكُبْرَى ، فَلَمَّا خَرَجَتَا عَلَى سُلَيْمَانَ قَالَ : كَيْفَ قَضَى بَيْنَكُمَا ؟ فَأَخْبَرَتَاهُ ، فَقَالَ : ائْتُونِي بِالسِّكِّينِ ، قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ : أَوَّلُ مَنْ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ السِّكِّينَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - أَنَا ، كُنَّا نُسَمِّيهَا الْمُدْيَةَ ، فَقَالَتِ الصُّغْرَى : لِمَ ؟ قَالَ : لِأَشُقَّهُ بَيْنَكُمَا ، فَقَالَتِ : ادْفَعْهُ إِلَيْهَا ، فَقَضَى بِهِ سُلَيْمَانُ لِلصُّغْرَى ، وَقَالَ : لَوْ كَانَ ابْنَكِ لَمْ تَرْضَيْ أَنْ تَشُقِّيهِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Two women came to Sayyiduna Dawud (peace be upon him). The wolf had eaten one of their two sons, and they were disputing over the one who remained. Sayyiduna Dawud (peace be upon him) judged in favour of the older woman. When the two of them went out and passed by Sayyiduna Sulayman (peace be upon him), he asked: 'What judgement was given between you?' They told him what had happened, and he said: 'Bring me a knife (sikkin).' Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The first time I ever heard the word sikkin (knife) was from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him); we used to call it mudyah. Then the younger woman asked: 'What for?' He said: 'So that I may cut him into two halves between you.' She cried out: 'Give the child to her!' So Sayyiduna Sulayman (peace be upon him) gave the child to the younger woman and said: 'If he were your son, you would never have agreed to his being cut.'"
