Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that two women came to Dawud (peace be upon him). A wolf had eaten the son of one of them, and the two of them were disputing over the son who remained. Dawud (peace be upon him) judged in favour of the elder woman. Then, when the two of them came out (from Dawud, peace be upon him) and passed by Sulayman (peace be upon him), he asked: "What judgement was made between you?" They told him. Upon this Sulayman (peace be upon him) said: "Bring me a knife." Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "The first time I heard the word 'sikkin' (knife) was from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him); otherwise we used to call it 'mudyah'." The younger woman said: "Why (are you asking for a knife)?" He said: "We will cut him and divide him between the two of you." The younger one said: "Give him to her (the elder)." But the elder said: "Yes, cut him between us." So Sulayman (peace be upon him) judged the child to be the younger woman's. People said (to the elder): "If he were your son, you would not have agreed to his being cut."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Rawh except Yazid bin Zuray', and Umayyah is alone in narrating it."
