803 - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ قَالَ: ثنا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ: ثنا الْأَجْلَحُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ حَجْيَةَ الْكِنْدِيُّ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي الْخَلِيلِ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَرْقَمَ، قَالَ: أَتَي عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ بِالْيَمَنِ، فِي ثَلَاثَةِ نَفَرٍ وَقَعُوا عَلَي جَارِيَةٍ لَهُمْ فِي طُهْرٍ وَاحِدٍ، فَجَاءَتْ بِوَلَدٍ، فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ لِاثْنَيْنِ مِنْهُمْ: أَتَطِيبَانِ بِهِ نَفْسًا لِصَاحِبِكُمَا؟ قَالَا: لَا، ثُمَّ قَالَ لِلْآخَرَيْنِ: أَتَطِيبَانِ بِهِ نَفْسًا لِصَاحِبِكُمَا؟ قَالَا: لَا، ثُمَّ قَالَ لِآخَرَيْنِ: أَتَطِيبَانِ نَفْسًا لِصَاحِبِكُمَا؟ قَالَا: لَا، فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ: أَنْتُمْ شُرَكَاءُ مُتَشَاكِسُونَ، إِنِّنَيْ مُقْرِعٌ بَيْنَكُمْ، فَأَيُّكُمْ أَصَابَتْهُ الْقُرْعَةُ أَلْزَمْتُهُ الْوَلَدَ، وَأَغْرَمْتُهُ ثُلُثَيْ قِيمَةِ الْجَارِيَةِ لِصَاحِبَيْهِ، فَلَمَّا قَدِمْنَا عَلَي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ذَكَرْنَا ذَلِكَ لَهُ، فَقَالَ: «مَا أَعْلَمُ فِيهَا إِلَّا مَا قَالَ عَلِيٌّ»
Sayyiduna Zayd bin Arqam (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: In Yemen, three men were brought before Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), who had intercourse with their slave woman during the same period of purity, and that slave woman gave birth to a child. Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said to two of them: "Would you both like to relinquish your claim in favor of your third companion?" Both of them replied: "No." Then Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) asked the remaining two: "Would you both like to relinquish your claim in favor of your companion?" They also replied: "No." So Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "You are partners who differ among yourselves. I will draw lots among you. Whose name is drawn, I will attribute the child to him, and he will have to pay his two companions two-thirds of the value of the slave woman as compensation." Sayyiduna Zayd bin Arqam (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: When we presented ourselves before the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and mentioned this matter to him, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "My opinion in this matter is the same as what Ali has stated."
