باب: الأبوين إذا افترقا وهما في قرية واحدة، فالأم أحق بولدها ما لم تتزوج، وكانوا صغارا، فإذا بلغ أحدهم سبع أو ثمان سنين وهو يعقل خير بين أبيه وأمه، وكان عند أيهما اختار

وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ بِشْرَانَ بِبَغْدَادَ، أنبأ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو الرَّزَّازُ، ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، أنبأ الضَّحَّاكُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ مَخْلَدٍ أَبُو عَاصِمٍ، ح وَأنا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ الْفَقِيهُ، أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ دَاسَةَ، ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، ثنا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، ثنا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، وَأَبُوعَاصِمٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي زِيَادٌ، عَنْ هِلَالِ بْنِ أُسَامَةَ، أَنَّ أَبَا مَيْمُونَةَ سُلَيْمًا مَوْلًى مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ رَجُلَ صِدْقٍ، قَالَ: بَيْنَمَا أَنَا جَالِسٌ مَعَ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ جَاءَتِ امْرَأَةٌ فَارِسِيَّةٌ مَعَهَا ابْنٌ لَهَا، فَادَّعَيَاهُ وَقَدْ طَلَّقَهَا زَوْجُهَا، فَقَالَتْ: يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ رَطَنَتْ بِالْفَارِسِيَّةِ زَوْجِي يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ بِابْنِي، فَقَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ: اسْتَهِمَا عَلَيْهِ وَرَطَنَ لَهَا بِذَلِكَ فَجَاءَ زَوْجُهَا، فَقَالَ: مَنْ يُحَاقُّنِي فِي وَلَدِي؟ فَقَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ: اللهُمَّ إِنِّي لَا أَقُولُ هَذَا، إِلَّا أَنِّي سَمِعْتُ امْرَأَةً جَاءَتْ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَأَنَا قَاعِدٌ ⦗٥⦘ عِنْدَهُ، فَقَالَتْ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنَّ زَوْجِي يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ بِابْنِي، وَقَدْ سَقَانِي مِنْ بِئْرِ أَبِي عِنَبَةَ، وَقَدْ نَفَعَنِي، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " اسْتَهِمَا عَلَيْهِ " فَقَالَ زَوْجُهَا: مَنْ يُحَاقُّنِي فِي وَلَدِي؟ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " هَذَا أَبُوكَ، وَهَذِهِ أُمُّكَ، فَخُذْ بِيَدِ أَيِّهِمَا شِئْتَ " فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِ أُمِّهِ فَانْطَلَقَتْ بِهِ. لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ الرُّوذْبَارِيِّ، وَحَدِيثُ ابْنِ بِشْرَانَ أَقْصَرُ مِنْهُ، وَالْمَعْنَى وَاحِدٌ.
Ibn Jurayj says that Hilal bin Usamah told him that Abu Maymunah Sulaym, a mawla from the people of Madinah and a truthful man, said: I was sitting with Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) when a Persian woman came with her son; she had been divorced. She began to say in Persian: O Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him)! My husband wants to take my child from me. Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Cast lots for him. Meanwhile her husband also came and said: Who wants to keep my child from me? Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I did not say this on my own account; rather, I was sitting with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when a woman came and said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! My husband wants to take my child back from me, though he (my son) draws water for me from the well of Abu Inabah and has been of benefit to me." He (peace and blessings be upon him) decided between them by casting lots. Then the boy's father said: Who will keep my child from me? So he (peace and blessings be upon him) addressed the child and said: "This is your father and this is your mother; go with whichever of them you wish." The child took hold of his mother's hand, and she took him away.
These are the words of al-Rudhbari; the hadith of Ibn Bishran has fewer words, but the meaning is the same.
