Mukhtasar Bukhari

Narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: "My example and the example of people is like that of a person who kindled a fire, and now moths and animals began to fall into it." He also said that there were two women, each of whom had a boy. A wolf came and took away one of the children, so the companion said, 'The wolf has taken your child (this is my child).' The other said, '(No, rather) the wolf has taken your child.' Both came to Dawud (peace be upon him) for judgment, so he gave the child to the elder woman (because the child was in her possession and the other could not bring any witness). Then both went to Sulayman (peace be upon him) and explained to him, so he said, 'Bring me a knife. I will cut the child into two pieces and give each of you a part.' Upon hearing this, the younger woman said, 'May Allah have mercy on you, do not do so, for he is her (the elder woman's) child.' Then he gave the child to the younger woman. (He recognized that she was the real mother of the child and the other was lying.)
