أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو نَصْرٍ عُمَرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ قَتَادَةَ، أنبأ أَبُو عَمْرِو بْنُ نُجَيْدٍ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْعَبْدِيُّ، ثنا ابْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، ثنا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ، رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ كَانَ يَلِيطُ أَوْلَادَ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ بِمَنِ ادَّعَاهُمْ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ، ⦗٤٤٥⦘ قَالَ سُلَيْمَانُ: فَأَتَى رَجُلَانِ كِلَاهُمَا يَدَّعِي وَلَدَ امْرَأَةٍ، فَدَعَا عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَائِفًا فَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهِمَا، فَقَالَ الْقَائِفُ: لَقَدِ اشْتَرَكَا فِيهِ، فَضَرَبَهُ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ بِالدِّرَّةِ ثُمَّ قَالَ لِلْمَرْأَةِ: أَخْبِرِينِي خَبَرَكِ، فَقَالَتْ: كَانَ هَذَا لِأَحَدِ الرَّجُلَيْنِ يَأْتِيهَا وَهِيَ فِي إِبِلِ أَهْلِهَا، فَلَا يُفَارِقُهَا حَتَّى يَظُنَّ أَنْ قَدِ اسْتَمَرَّ بِهَا حَمَلٌ، ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ عَنْهَا فَأُهْرِيقَتْ دَمًا، ثُمَّ خَلَفَ هَذَا - تَعْنِي الْآخَرَ - فَلَا أَدْرِي مِنْ أَيِّهِمَا هُوَ؟ فَكَبَّرَ الْقَائِفُ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ لِلْغُلَامِ: " وَالِ أَيَّهُمَا شِئْتَ ".
Sulayman bin Yasar (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Whenever a child from the time of Jahiliyyah was claimed in Islam, Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) would attach him to the one who claimed him. Sulayman (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Two men were both claiming a woman's child, so Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) called a physiognomist. He looked at the two of them and said: Both of them share in him. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) struck him with a whip and said to the woman: Tell me the true account. She said: This man used to come to me while I was among my family's camels, until he firmly believed that a pregnancy had become established; then he left me, and then I bled. After that, the other one began to come. I do not know from which of the two he is. At that the physiognomist said Allahu Akbar, and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Go with whichever of them you wish.
