Hadith 3518

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ خُشَيْشُ بْنُ أَصْرَمَ ، قَالَ : أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ، قَالَ : أَنْبَأَنَا 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 ، ثُمَّ سَأَلَ اثْنَيْنِ : أَتُقِرَّانِ لِهَذَا بِالْوَلَدِ ؟ قَالَا : لَا ، فَأَقْرَعَ بَيْنَهُمْ ، فَأَلْحَقَ الْوَلَدَ بِالَّذِي صَارَتْ عَلَيْهِ الْقُرْعَةُ ، وَجَعَلَ عَلَيْهِ ثُلُثَيِ الدِّيَةِ ، فَذُكِرَ ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَضَحِكَ حَتَّى بَدَتْ نَوَاجِذُهُ " .
´It was narrated that Zaid bin Arqam said:` "Three men were brought to 'Ali while he was in Yemen; they all had intercourse with a woman during a single menstrual cycle. He asked two of them: 'Do you affirm that this child belongs to (the third man)?' And they said: 'No.' He asked another two of them: 'Do you affirm that this child belongs to (the third man)?' And they said: 'No.' So he cast lots between them, and attributed the child to the one whom the lot fell, and obliged him to pay two-thirds of the Diyah. The Prophet was told of this, and he laughed so much that his back teeth became visible."
